Hot water heater blow out - 2024

 Our Seaward F600 hot water heater blew out and was leaking water badly. We installed it in 2012 so about 11 years old. It may have been leaking for some time as our freshwater pump seemed to be losing pressure at times and we never could figure out what the cause was.

 We thought it was a switch in the pump, but it worked fine so a little quiet buzz once-in-a-while was ok. So to fix the leak, we bypassed the hot water heater and are good to go cruise up the Sea of Cortez for a while. The water heater is to the left (port) next to our AC system.
Now the water pump does not buzz once in a while anymore.
