I have hardly ever had the chance to use my Draco 2000DC due to a succession of problems that it was very, very difficult to find someone capable / reliable to fix! Now that I have (in a choppy Solent) she got to 4000rpm and almost got to plane but I noticed the temperature go almost into to the red (slowed down immediately / gave up). It recovered OK (although the crankcase breather rubber pipe obviously got very hot and changed colour) and I remember reading on here about the possibility of an air leak on the small hose between the transom shield and leg. What is the best method to test this (preferably while she's still in the water)? Many thanks,
