Engine overheats on hose

[Betik]

Thx Betik, yes the boat is level . Water is leaking into the battery compartment at the stern Portside and at the passenger seat deck , that’s why I think it may be a pipe leak ?

I see, can you reach behind to see what is going on? You can use like a snake camera if it hard to get access

My boat is not level.. maybe that might be the reason.. because the one time I didn’t have the overheat warning was because I made sure it was a level as possible for an oil change.. idk.. but that is a difference from then and now.. I have not leveled it to run on hose . Ehh.. it runs great on the water … so I figured it was low pressure…

Thx for your input, most appreciated ! I’ll let you all know once this one is figured out ?

If no alarm on water I would not be to concerned just check water flow at the pissers on the water should be a good stream.

Thanks David, it is a little out of level maybe 5 deg from Starboard to Portside (stern to bow looks about 0 degrees) when parked so I’ll put in the road next time I flush and see if it makes a difference. Cheers for the advice ?

Thanks everyone, it was low pressure on the hose ! Used my neighbours tap and all was good. Checked pipes too and all seems good ?
