    Well, it’s hard to know until the engine is looked at, to be honest. I took the boat out two weekends ago and I ran the engine up to 3000prm for a couple of minutes. Then the red temperature light came on and the engine cut out. I gave it a couple of minutes, re-started and the same thing happened. Managed to get a tow back onto the marina, left it 30mins and restarted. Seemed to work ok - I got back to my berth under very low revs. Need to find out if the thermostat is stuck or if there is a problem with overheating. And if the engine suffered any damage from possible overheating (hopefully not because it was such a short period). Would prefer to have someone professional to look at it. Cheers.
