Default Cooling problems

When i run my boat only a very small amount of water comes out of the hull. When i bring the boat in the engine is real hot,you cant put your finger on it for more than a second. Im afraid to keep it running for more than a couple of laps. The water pickup is on the rudder which goes through the head of the engine then through the header then out. When i blow water through with my mouth the water just dribbles out, not even at a steady stream. The whole boat is new so their are no restrictions. Should i lose the water cooled exhaust setup for more water flow through the head or try something different. Motor is an ops 67 inboard with a aeromarine rudder to pickup water. Thanks
- I was also thinking of adding an additional pickup fo the exhaust if i really need to cool it. Thus i would have separate cooling systems for the head and the exhaust
