well guys, i flushed my boat prior to putting my boat in the water a few weeks ago and i left my hose clamp pincher on the water return (out) of the cylinder head. I only ran the boat for 5 minutes with it pinche off, and my dad ran it for a few minutes also the following weekend. i wasnt around when my dad had the boat out when the hose was pinched off, but i did get a phone call from him when he was running saying it was beeping, same symptoms as when it overheats. so i got out there and i checked things out, seen i left the hose pinched off (dumbass) removed the clamp, and had a real hard time getting that engine to start. eventually it fired up, idled fine and ran good, i ran it for at least a half hour with no problems. should i have any concerns with any engine internal componenets? would the engine have water entry? just asking so i can sleep better at night, at this time the engine runs fine.
