I had the boat running fine, newer water pump that pumped a strong stream of water. Had it running on the lake for about a half hour then shut it offfor about 15 minutes, then started it up an ran it for about 2 minutes half throttle and i heard a hissing noise and saw steam coming out the exhaust. The motor was really hot, let it cool down for 15 and started it up briefly and saw steam coming out of the pee hole where water should be, then shut it off right away and got towed back in.
Here are my questions:
Do you guys think its a thermostat and where is it located on the motor?
Could a good water pump fail all of sudden?
Where can I buy these replacements parts?
And do you think I damaged the motor? It started back up fine again after. (and it didn't get hot enough to the point where it shut itself off, I turned it off)
Thanks everyone
