Water leak in hot water system #748

Closed smr547 closed 7 months ago

smr547 commented 7 months ago

After arriving in Port Macquarie we found a large volume of fresh water in the engine bilge and bilges down the starboard side of the boat. The bilge pump alarm was activating from time to time.

A search revealed water spraying from the drain hose connection at the hot water system.

@Christopher-w-green trimmed the ends of the hose and shorted it's length to prevent further "flopping around" -- which we considered to be the cause of the leak.

System was re-pressurised and no leak was observed.

It should be noted that the fresh water pressure pump was activating at regular intervals -- a sure sign that a leak was present.
