[C320-list] Seaward Water Heater

[Ken Danko]

I knew that my Seaward water heater temperture/pressure valve needed to 
be replaced but I put it off for quite a while because I had read on the 
320 owner's web site that changing the valve was really difficult. I 
finally budgeted a whole day and set about the task yesterday. I must be 
missing something because it took less than an hour.

BTW, I read somewhere that someone had a water bottle connected to the 
temperterature/pressure relief valve to collect the water that sometimes 
comes out. I connected 4 ft of 1/2 inch tubing with a 1/2 inch to 1/2 
inch connector and ran it to the bilge. This keeps the area under the 
sink dry and means that I don't have to empty a bottle.
