1 Mile outside of Westport at 5000 rpm cruising to fish Cutty, outboard overheats and shuts down. Call Seatow and they can't get to me quickly and with my 101# thrust trolling motor, I tell them to forget it I fish my way in. About 45 minutes late I crank it up, nice water stream runs great the rest of the day (thank you), because we caught a ton of fish; my hands are junk. I put 10 miles or better on the outboard, so I'm thinking I might have picked up a bag or some debris to kill the water supply to the pump. Mechanic says go fish another day, so that's what I'm going to do tomorrow. Boys and I are having fish for diner.
