We went out on a lake today and While going across the water the engine shut off. There were no sounds or smoke or anything unusual so I turned the key and it started right back up and we were back underway. I checked the water coming out the 2 small exhaust holes and noticed the water was hot. Not scalding hot but I wouldnt want to leave my hand there. I know that my overheat buzzer is not hooked up. My question is, we ran it for about 2 hours straight and didnt have any other issues. This lake is an IDLE only lake so we were at idle speed the entire time. Is the hot water normal and the engine just shut off because the fuel built up in the block? We ran the rest of the day after it shut down at just above idle it never shut off again. Also, just before it shut down, we had stopped and let the kids swim for about 45 minutes. When I went to start the engine it acted like it was flooded.
Thanks
