Thanks for all your replies. Found a Yanmar dealer in Marblehead. He said
yes, if the bearing is going the pump could leak into the pan as well as
externally. Will put in a rebuild kit when I get there tomorrow, in fact I
may let them install it just to be safe. Really hope thats the problem. And
as an aside, after thats fixed, if it is, I'll talk to you about how I can
make the water heater work. Yes Carl, its a 140degree thermostat, but even
at that would hope there is some way to get the heater above maybe an
ambient 80degrees. I should stir myself and look for blocked hoses, etc.
Maybe I'm a product of my time, though. If I run the Honda 2000i for fifteen
minutes, connected to the 120v side of the water heater, I get REALLY hot
water for only a few drops of gasoline.

IN RE: your water heater that doesn't heat water, they don't work well on a
raw water cooled engine=2E Insufficient heat transfer to the water due to
volume of flow and if I recall in your case a 140 deg therm=2E
