Help. Raw water intake hose burst - didn't sink

Is there water under the cap?

I pulled the dipstick and didn't see any water. I didn't look under the cap. Another fact I failed to mention was that the water being pumped by the bilge was vert warm. There was a lot in the engine compartment so it was probably heated from the exterior of the engine. Just mentioning it if that helps. Thanks.

If there was having much water in it then its possilbe it was choking out the engine through the air intake.

ok , fix the hose and see if there is a problem......keep it simple......you need to fix the problem then see if it caused another issue......watch your gauges and see if it overheats, check your impeller and your exhaust hoses for any deterioration

Sorry, I meant the distributor cap

did it hydrolock? i forgot to put my plug in once and engine hydrolocked. only time that's happened to me. i suspect the weight of the water made the risers height too low and water snuck in.

If the water was "very warm" it's probably coming from somewhere other than the raw water hose, definitely check your other water hoses while you're in there. Is there any indication of why the hose failed? Your boat isn't very old to have a blown water hose.

I don't know why the hose failed. The rubber was fileted open and I could see the mesh under it. The hose has a 5 inch split in it. As far as hydro locking. I made it back to the trailer under power. I would think if it hydro/vapor locked, the engine would have stopped altogether. I took it to the supra dealer. I might know more tomorrow.

Update. Good news. The only thing that needed replacing was the hose. I asked the supra dealer about the cutting out issue. Apparently, Indmar has a limiting switch to reduce the rpm's when the engine starts to overheat. That is what happened. Good news is that the engine didn't overheat to the point that it hurt anything.

Thanks for everyone's input.
