[C320-list] Potential Leaking Water Heater

[Robert Seastream]

Guys:

On the right side of the tank (manufactured by Seaward on my 2002),  
above the drain valve is a fitting with a short (about 2 inch) piece  
of hose that sometimes leaks.
Ron, if your agent isn't making things right, phone Catalina directly  
and ask to speak with Gerry Douglas.  Used to be that Frank Butler was  
the top dog but I don't know if or how much he's involved these days.   
Anyhow, tell them your story.  They should be able to light a fire  
under your agents' butt.
