Leak water heater

[petibonvm]

hello, on my SO35 my water heater (220v + motor) has a small leak (one glass per day). If I put a cap on the cold water inlet and hot water outlet and drain, is there a risk of engine overheating? Thanks for your help

It should not affect the engine temperature as it is only the same as when the tank is hot and no longer takes any heat from the engine.

I had a similar problem. Bypassed the tank in freshwater circuit, and obviously lost hot water. Disconnected the engine heater tubes and used one to make a loop between the two connections on the engine block.
