1st time for me at that waterway. They built a freeway right past town and this is where the toen joins it. Perfect. 5 minutes in the car, 2 lakes, easy access and well, the list goes on.

I actually tried once to make a cover for this, with air flow to the head in mind, but it never really worked. The engine only got hotter (Mainly cause I couldn't get the air directed ONTO the head, only over the top of it) and it became all a bit too difficult. If I could direct some air onto the head, without too many mods, I would like to. I did notice on the last run that when the boat was going slow that there was no water gushing out. Before there was at least some water. Only at higher speeds would it start to exit but not enough. Combine that with an ill fitting water ring (Hence the tin foil on the head) and I think this may be the problem. I am assuming that if an engine overheats it will just stop dead?
