I think the pressure relief valve on a Raritan is a standard plumbing
part. If the water heater is really 26 years old then it might be about
ready to go anyway. Here's what I did:

Has anyone on the list had any luck replacing the temperature pressure relief valve
on the 6 gallon (I think) OEM hot water tank-heater in a 33 mk II (1986). Mine is
venting hot water into the bilge after a time, both with engine heat alone and with
shore power. Alarming in itself, until you find the source! The valve looks pretty
rusted up, I’m thinking maybe sticking due to corrosion and with a valve running
<$30.00 as opposed to >$500.00 for a new tank, probably worth a try.
