Default marathon water heater

Having problems with my water heater heating my water too hot. I
turned the thermastats all the way down to 110, but out of the tap it
seems way hotter, cant keep your hands there long anyway! I dont quite
understand how to diagnose an a/c electric circuit, but live in the
middle of nowhere and was hoping for some help. Searched the archieves
but cant seem to figure out what is wrong. I was thinking the
thermastats where bad, but here an audible click when the upper and
lower are turned up higher, and there is about a 220 volt drop across
both heating elements. Stumped!!, any input would greatly be
appreciated. I was gonna try a infared temp gun on both heat element
areas to see if could condemn one of the thermastats that way, but
unsure if it will be a accurate diagnosis. thanks jrw
