I will post some shunts that I find. I will try looking for some immersion ones.

red leader, are you sure i can measure it with a clamp meter, and will it be as accurate as the shunt??

looking at the immersion heaters on mcmaster im quickly comign to the conclusion that they are not the way to go. making my own coper block that seals a normal heater cartridge from the water seems a more sensible way of going about things.

Ben, dont most of the DC psus go up to like 36volts max? if that is the case that would need almost 10 amps to get to 350watts of load..

check out this mcmaster part. at 120volts its 1200watts. so its 10watts per volt.. at 35volts thats 350watts... perfect for waht I need and most of the psu's on ebay are of the 35 volt variety...
