Being not quite the DIY person you all are, I sought a mechanic's advice.
He said the hoses on my hot water heater are cracked and need replacing.
He said he needs to remove the hot water heater to replace the hoses.  Does
that sound right?  He's estimating 8 hours of labor for that.  Mine is a
2002 C320, #910 with a Seaward 6-gallon heater assuming he's working with
the boat's original equipment (I haven't looked yet).
