[Art Harden]

You may have a kink hose or blockage in the engine side of the water heater. If it is there are no kinks in the line ther is probably a blockage in the heater.

The manual says it should heat to 140 degrees, but my electric heater only gets the water to 103.  But when heated with the engine, it only gets to 93 even after running the engine 20 minutes (Yanmar 3GM30f).
