Thanks for all the great suggestions! A couple of things: the water heater is not new, nor has it been changed. It's just the first thing that we noticed was wrong. I think we are not getting efficient water heating because the engine is running so cool.
I bought a new thermostat from Westerbeke. Used the one called out in the manual (180 degree operating temp). We replaced it one Friday and today tested the old one. It opened at 180 degrees, just as it is rated. So I guess I've got a spare!
Wasn't positive that I had a real problem be am obviously concerned. I'm going to take Camaraderies advice and call a mechanic tomorrow. Hope my bank account can handle it...
Hopefully getting the temp up to an appropriate temp will take care of my inefficient water heater too! (fingers crossed)
