"Found a sand bar on the Wisco
"Found a sand bar on the Wisconsin River at low speed. Trimmed up, shut down, and looked for damage, none found. Continued on our way, ignoring temp gauge until smoke came out of the bilge. (didn't say I was smart or had any boating experience). Shut down and paddled to shore. Must have shredded the raw water impeller with sand. Visible damage is charred paint on the exhaust riser, melted bellows and the exhaust high temp sensor melted off the riser. Exhaust manifold also appears to be cracked.
Here's the question. What more can I expect to be damaged? Is it likely terminal for this engine? Any concerns with outdrive?"
