John,
BODACIOUS had to turn around halfway out Pagan River due an overheating
engine alarm. The weather forecast looks to be deteriorate thru the day, so
I opted to err on the side of caution and get the boat back in the slip
running at low engine power. Doubt it is the impeller because I have less
than 50 hours since last change out, thinking an obstructed inlet or clogged
line. The alarm would shut off whenever I brought the rpm below a grand, but
that only gave me bare steerageway and no way I could make it out in the
river.
Will let you know when I'm back up again.
Tim

The skipper of the first finished boat will email the start time, course
