hello all. i got the boat running today. it started right up and was running great for the first 10 minutes. after that, a lot of steam started to billow out of the valve cover breather and the engine temp went up to 200 degres.i was running the boat on a garden hose at my house and that water can't be over 45 degres. so to get to 200, something has got to be wrong. i'm going to wait till she cools down then i'll remove the valve cover. anyone know whats wrong with it????

Check your oil dipstick for water present. Probably 1 of 2 things, head gasket or manifold leaked into the cylinder, either one can cause your problem.
