Added some pics for everyone. The under cabinet one shows the location of the junction box -- remove the drain pipe and stile for easier access. The other shows where I mounted the switch.
To install, I enlarged the hole for the cable to approx 1" x 2" for the switch. I disconnected the yellow romex wire bundle going into the junction box, and that bundle had hot, neutral, and ground. I then cut up an old monitor cable which also had hot, neutral, ground, and ran that back from the magnetic switch to the junction box. Works perfectly so far with minimal fuss on the wiring (once I figured it all out...)
The water heater calls for 14/2 105 degree rated wire, and that's exactly what the monitor cable was, so there you go.
