Water heater removal

[dspithaler@...]

Hi Kevin I put a Seaward water heater in mine two years ago and it was
the 1200 model . The coolant hoses came out of it from the front as the one I
took out came out of the back & I had to change the plumbing around to suite
it but it turned out good. I was wandering if you did anything different on
the wiring for a reset for the heater as I have seen some posting on that. I
have made two trips to AZ & one to FL & other short trips in the last two years
without any problems with the engine heating the water heater too hot. Most
of them in cooler weather. Being you installed the same name heater I was
wandering what you did?

I can't offer you much advice on the air line stuff, bust as far as the
coolant lines are concerned, I just put a pair of vice grips on the hoses
before
I removed them from the water heater. This kept the coolant loss to just
what was in the hoses from where the hoses were pinched to where they
connected
to the water heater.

Just FYI, I bought a new heater from Seaward Products in Whittier, CA,
direct from the Mfg. It was almost a perfect fit replacement (I think the
original was an Atwood), and I gained an additional gallon capacity in the
same
dimension heater.

Good luck...it was my first "major" project on my BB when I bought it over
4
yrs ago, and gave me the confidence to tackle all of the other projects
since.
