Plugged my valve off 9 years ago & do not overtighten the taps. The kitchen one drips in the sink a bit
No problem so far

Hi, I have the same problem in my 370. 
I start inspecting all the potential sources, but no result (leakage found). 
And I noticed that the hot water boiler has no valve ( I think). Is it possible?

I will post some pictures and suggestions later in the week.

Happy Monday,
Ivan

I took my safety valve off 10 years ago because the spring failed & it leaked. I do not over tighten the sink & heads taps so they occasionally drip when the pressure rises but not much.
The cylinder is full of water, not steam, so it is not going to explode, unless I run the water dry, & then the thermostat cuts out if on shore power anyway

Thank you Samuel! It is a good idea.

About my Carpe diem:
Was build in 2008.
She was not in use in the last 6 years.
When I found her she was naked, dirty and very sexy :) 
No navigation, wind instruments, no anchor still... 
Not equipped at all.
I am the second, but practically the first active owner.


So I think the previous do not made any changes on her...
