Bob,
I have seen household water heaters with plastic cold water fill tubes.
These are inside the tank and they direct the cold water to the bottom of
the tank. If for some reason a tank gets left on without a cold water supply
it is possible for the tank to get hot enough to melt this tube and restrict
the flow.
I don't know if marine tanks have this type construction or not. I suspect
not as they were found on heaters where the cold water inlet was at the top
of the tank. All marine heaters seem to have the cold supply at the bottom
so I expect no tube is needed.
If yours does happen to have the cold inlet at the top, this could be the
problem.
Another possibility is that there is a strainer in the cold water supply
line just before it enters the tank. If so that could be clogged.
Good luck,
Bill
