[C320-list] Hot Water Heater

[amshd2 at aol.com]

Sounds like you may an issue here.  There is no switch on the .hot water heater but there is a small red push button breaker on it under the cover where the wiring connects.   If Breaker on the main panel is working then you might need to reset the breaker on the hot water heater.

First test that the breaker in the panel is working. 

If it is be sure the  power is off before moving on to the next step.  .  Then remove the cabinet under the sink.  You will see a mental cover where the wires enter the Hot water heater.  BE SURE THE POWER IS OFF.    Remove the cover cover, look for the small red button and push it to reset.  

Turn on the power at the panel and wait and see if she heats up.   

If she does shut off power and put everything back.   If she does and you are sure you have power going to the hot water heater then the little red breaker and over temp switch may need to be replaced..  Call seaward.  They are great to deal with .

I just went through this on my 94 and its is an easy job .

Hello Everyone:
I am new to the hot water heater in the C320.  How do you turn the water heater 
n if using shore power.  The breaker is pushed in -- is there a switch on the 
ot water heater itself and how do you get to it.
Thanks,
Max

 Along with other suggestions, the best way to eliminate the possibility of
 the fresh water system is to listen for your pump to cycle while the fresh
 water pump is on. If the pump comes on, even for a few seconds when not
 using any of the faucets, then it is coming from your fresh water system. I
 had to replace my hot water heater two weeks ago because of this. I also use
 a liter bottle to capture the blow off from the hot water pressure valve.
 This way I know if I have another problem if I see water in the bilge...good
 luck and let us know what you find...

 still have a pesky leak from somewhere aft into the bilge. I'veeliminated
 the aft water tank (drained with no change) and have prettywell verified
 that it has something to do with motoring.  The leakstops after a few days
 away from the boat and begins again after a dayof sailing with motoring in
 and out of the slip.  Then the leakdribbles for several days before it
 quits. There is no antifreeze in the water. Other than the packinggland,
 anyone have other ideas?
 
 Thanx
