T&T: Re: Slow Flowing Hot Water

    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
