Took my 96 speedster out to the beach and played alot, on way back it overheated and melted down exhaut. Yuck what a job putting tube in! Anyway blew through all lines fixed and replaced hoses, still getting warm and water flow seems slow and not getting through to exhaust???? Help Im stumped, checked for rope ect, all things I can think of. Any ideas?

Second problem I may have is i see water comming in? Look like under the engine, while its just sitting at the dock(slow trickle) Is the a hose fitting under there or did I damage hull? I do play a little rough~

Have you checked for any cracks or holes in the engine bay to see if you might be taking water on this way?

Sand in waterjacket maybe. Did you backflush? You should have flush fittings up top where on each side under hatch that are plugged....

Check your driveshaft seals for your water leak.

Last night found that grate had been torn off and inserts pulled right through hull, eww not good. Patched with 3m filler.
Thanks.

Ok, sand was the start of the problem for sure lines plugged up. Back flushed as suggested. still over heated! Then I pulled jet, oring gasket had become dislodged
and was blocking half of water flow. So I may have used to much water pressure blowing throught the line its self.
Good news is it runs again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
