Thanks for the link to the D61 diagram. I would say that the leak is coming from area 9 and not from the control knobs. There is a strong possibility it had frozen up, the temp had dropped to -9C at one point. It may hopefully have been the force of the water pressure causing it to blow when I turned the mains on and may be an easy fix......he says hopefully. You can probably guess that I haven't much of a clue what I'm talking about. Best wishes.

Hi all. Introduced myself as a newbie and still trying to find my way about. Have a serious water leak where the connection joins onto the temperature control knob. Is this simply a sign of a washer needing renewed or is it not as simple as that? Best wishes to all.

Hello everyone from a newbie. Haventa...as in not a clue. I'm not a boat owner as yet but I came close to buying a share in a relative's small offshore fishing boat until he sold it on the spur of the moment! Wasn't happy. Enjoyed catching mostly mackerel. However hope springs eternal as they say and I'll have to stick with my static caravan at the moment. Which is how I came across this site when looking for a solution to a problem with a Morco D51B water heater. It has developed a serious water leak at the union between the outlet from the heat exchanger and where it joins onto the temperature control knob. It looks as if it has been weeping for a while but my question is....do you think this can be fixed by fitting a new washer [like changing a tap washer] or is it liable to be the law according to Sod and be something expensive? If this rain keeps falling I can see me having a houseboat or an ark before much longer. Season's greetings and best wishes to all.
