Just got through chiseling top of pistons out of head of my 190XT. Heat gauge was not working when hose from block heater sprang a leak and I didn't see it. A heat gauge would have been alot cheeper than my complete engine rebuild. MACK

That is why I always remove those aftermarket water heaters when I work on any of my toys. If it is not a in block water heater, those add on ones can be nothing but trouble.
