[C320-list] Seaward water heater

I replaced the same parts back in April on my 94 #30.  You can do the job with out taking the hot water all the way out.

You have to remove the cabinet and unscrew the water heater mounting bracket.  You can then work the unit around where you can remove the electrical panel cover.

Recommend that you only R/R one of the parts at a time it is very easy to get the wires mixed up.  


Also be very careful not to over tighten the nuts that hold temp switch against the tank.  The studs can break off.  Don't askme how I know.

It is an easy job.  My hot water heater is working as good as new now.

If you want contact me off line and I pass on lessons learned.

Alan,
You will end up having to remove the water heater to do this. I just
eplaced my water heater a few weeks ago, so if you need any info just let
e know...

ax - I have 1994 hull #67.  It came with model S600, which is 6 gallons.
YI to all, my water heater recently began to over heat and trigger the
ressure relief valve.  Seaward recommended a new thermostat and high limit
witch.  It is on its way and I'll install it shortly.  I'll then post the
esults along with the part numbers.  Parts were about $35 as I recall.

 Hello Everyone:
 
 Does anyone know the size of a Seaward water heater on a 1995 C320.  Also,
as anyone tried replacing the standard Alder Barbour charging system with a
ew Alder Barbour self charged model?
 
 Thanks,
 
 Max
