Blocked Intake

"So here we are on the 1st day

"So here we are on the 1st day of vacation my wife and I have had together in years and our boat picks up a plastic grocery bag in the middle of the river and overheats.

After I removed the offending bag & let the motor cool down, I started the engine only to have it over heat again. It doesn't seem to be pulling water into the intakes. Any suggestions?

The boat is an F17 Flight Series with the 3.0 Merc cruiser motor....and yes it's our 1st boat."
 
I don't know a heck of alo

I don't know a heck of alot about boats but I do know that the impellor will burn very quickly if it doesn't have water to it.
