My shower head on my 380 is leaking. Any suggestions? Would replacing the handheld unit help?
 
Just replaced mine on my 400DB. $18 at Ace Hardware for the exact same head.
 
I replaced one of the shower wands on my boat. Buy some teflon tape for the connection threads, a common source of leaks.

Believe it or not, they are designed to leak. The idea is to prevent the shower want from siphoning lake/rier/seawater into the freshwater system on the boat. If you want one that doesn't leak, buy a spray head for a kitchen sink. The Sea Ray shower heads use a comonly available sink or shower hose with a flat rubber washer to seal the connection on both ends so there is no need for teflon tape as long as you are using a shower hose and haven't lost the rubber washers.

Maybe the teflon tape is a Tiara thing..................
 
I installed the on/off switch in the boat & motorhome as we take navy showers in both. It's easier to just leave the mixer valve in position and use the on/off switch...
 
Probably need a valve cartridge. Grohe made mine, I think available online, maybe a hardware store
