Have a 115 inline and the water pressure gauge reads good but am not getting as much water out of the tell tale hole as was.<br /><br />Do I have something stopped up as in water line or is impeller getting weak?<br /><br />Like I said, water pressure gauge is holding good pressure.

A partially blocked tell tale outlet would reduce the flow and yet still show a good pressure on gauge. You should check the impeller, which is best changed every other year. Not familiar with your motor but on the V6 Mariners I think the tell tale is after the stats, so if the stat sticks shut you get reduced flow at tell tale. Check the stat opens at the temp marked on it.
