[C320-list] Hot Water Bypass

[Pat Moriarty]

It sprung a leak in the engine side, not too likely.
You are replacing the hot water heater and you decided to go sailing 
and work on it later, most likely
You can't get the new exact replacement to fit and don't want to go 
back to WM again today and since the frig is full of cold beer you 
decide to go sailing and worry about it another day, heck I will just 
bathe at home and you don't have to wash beer cans anyway. Oh that 
sounds like something I would do, make not to self to remember this.
