Force 10 hot water heater leaking

Post by Legasea »

I discovered a leak in my 6 gallon Force 10 hot water heater. It’s in a 32+2. Does anyone know if it’s possibly repairable? Looks like the housing is riveted together so access is limited.

We had to replace the leaking water heater in our 35CB this spring. I don't know if the 32+2 is the same, but ours was easy access under the outboard dinette seat. Kuuma 11810 was a direct plug & play replacement for the Force 10 (the model number was not completely legible -- 40600??). Found the best price at Hodges Marine ($335).
