[C320-list] Water Heater antifreeze hoses

[Mark Cole]

Hey, Jeff;

I replaced my water heater a few years ago and even found my notes from the project.  I used 5/8” hose but don’t know the length.  I found an exact replacement for the heater on my ‘93 hull at Fisheries Supply for $285.42.  It is a Seaward S600. (Whoa!  I just checked Fisheries and that model has gone up to $452!)
