I have a new Vortex 243 VR. The first time I took the boat out it overheated and shut down. Apparently, the factory did not connect a hose or it became loose during delivery. Since then the boat ran well for a few times. Yesterday the boat was running well. We stopped out on the lake for about 30 minutes. When I restarted the boat in ran well for another half hour and then the boat overheated and I could not drive it over 8 miles per hour. I was able to make it back to the slip very slowly. I am now wondering what caused the problem, if there is any damage to the boat and if this will be an ongoing problem. Does anyone have any thoughts about this problem?
