The enigine will run even if its not water cooled, the alcohol in the glow fuel helps to cool nitro engines, just make sure you run it rich until you find a cooling ring, if the boat has a hatch leave it off, if your servos are exposed without the hatch be careful, for that size engine try a Prather 230-235 or and Octura 448-450.
