Hello!
I am the new owner of Catalina 310 Hull #31 S/V "Harmony". Due to a drip in the plumbing for the Transom shower that was left unattended for years the hot water heater has become exceptionally corroded.
In preparation for its replacement and because I am afraid of it failing I would like to remove it from my Universal M25XPB Cooling circuit. I know that having a hot water heater hooked up to the engine is basically an optional add on so would I just remove the hoses on the engine side? Or Would I connect the hoses or run a short hose between the two valves?
As you can tell, I'm not all that experienced with working on engines but the owners manual only tells you how to hook up a water heater, not disconnect one.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!
