[C320-list] water system leak? (Joe Tamucci)

[Annie Bennett]

This happened to me twice over the period of a couple of months.  The first
time it was a washer that needed replacing.  It was happening all the time.
The second time it only happened when I had run the engine for a couple of
hours.  Kent at Catalina was very helpful letting me know where to get the
pressure relief valve from.  He told me that the water heater is made by
Seaward Products and suggested I e-mail Lon there at
lon at seawardproducts.com.  I did this, the valve was dispatched and fitted by
my shipwright.  Problem solved and the bilge is bone dry again!

Since you suspect it could be in the hot water branch does it only happen
when the engine has run for a while or you have your hot water heater
turned on at the dock?  If so check your hot water tank pressure check
valve.  I had the same problem with intermittent turn on of my tank and
traced the "water leak" to the valve opening when the engine was running or
when I turned on the hot water tank at the dock.  I plan on replacing the
valve in the spring.
