Shifted to neutral and it died, turned on the engine blower and smoke was expelled. Thankfully a fellow boater towed me back to the ramp. The exhaust had gotten so hot that it melted through my tilt/trim hoses and I found a melted/deformed piece of plastic in the flo-thru prop that I think is part of the impeller housing.
I hope I caught it before any head problems but I wont know till I check it out. I just don't know where to start. Any constructive ideas will be greatly appreciated!!"
