When I started the engine, I noticed coolant in the water coming out of the exhaust before it overheated (a lot). That was a big "DUH" moment. I had been fishing all night at the canal and was delirious after 1 hr of sleep. I should never taken the boat out after seeing the coolant. (lesson learned) After I go outside of the jetty and ran for about two miles the engine went straight into the red hot on the temperature gauge and the warning alarm went off.
The engine was winterized properly by Jim at Coastal Marine in Marshfield.
