Which Water Heater to Buy???84FC

[Lucas Willemse]

The exact replacement is made by Raritan and sold thru West Marine.
The fittings are almost in the same place as the old heater and take a
little addition off fittings to make them line up. I just replaced
ours on our 1980 FC 35, the tank had a pinhole leak just above the hot
water outlet. The Raritan part# is 171212, the West Marine part# is
256912.

I had to trim the plastic mounting rim on the bottom of the new heater
as it goes all the way around. I set both heaters next to each other
and tranferred the fittings to make sure they ended up in the same
place as the old unit. It was a bit of a struggle but it did fit and
works great.
