New boater here. I bought a 88 Century 3500 with 5.7 motor. Last weekend I hit something and broke a blade off my propeller. Took it out today with a new replacement prop. Didn't get 1/2 mile and noticed the Temp was red hot. Shut it down. Got it back home and inspected my lower unit. Found a hole

Is this the cause of my over heating? I had no Problem before.
