Please advise:<br />Can anyone tell me if I blew up my Force 85 (1989) by letting it overheat. I took it out for the first time and the (what I believe to be) overheating alarm went off right away. Thinking it could not possibly have overheated that quickly I continued at 1/4 throttle until the engine quit. A slight metallic sound prior to death.<br />Did I just ruin the waterpump or did I seize the engine?<br />I tried to turn it over and it turned very slowly.<br />Any advice-<br />I AM A NEWBIE to this boating stuff. More time in the classroom than on the water 
<br /><br />Thanks in advance<br />Eric
