Water is getting to the elbow, just not through the elbow and out the exhaust port.
Do remember how it came out before, like a month or year ago?

That's the thing, I can' t remember. I think I thought it was low flow last year too but there was probably no steam.
We rented the
boat out again and I just heard from the guys, the
engine over heats. One hour at 2000
RPM and the over heat
alarm sets off. Bummer, we ran it for 4 hours just this friday while motoring home in light winds without any over
heating issues. Oh well, I'm off to the
Volvo Penta dealer first thing tomorrow morning to get a new thermostat and a
gasket for the
exhaust elbow so I can
lift it off and clean it. I hope that sorts it, I'd hate to have
engine issues interrupt their week of sailing.
