We just launchd boat the other day and motor started with no problem however within minutes the engine was very hot we checked and water flow at exhaust was very low so we suspected a problem with the impellor but have checked same and it seems to be ok. Next we removed the t stat and found black carbon like soot deposits so we ran the engine with the t sat removed and the system open to check water supply and it seemed to have lots of water being pumped but we noticed and distinct gas smell in the water. We closed the system again and ran the engine with no tsat but again within a couple of minutes the engine was real hot we now suspect an exhaust leak with water leaking into the water jackets but just a guess would appreciate any suggestion to help us get the a4 back into purring condition Tks Bob
