Loss of Cooling Water?

I am restoring a '75 Ericson 29. I now have the A4 running(at last).Water flow thru the exhaust is fine and then after maybe 10 or 15 min it stops? This has happened twice. This last time was the first time with the boat under power and all seemed to be running fine (about 4 knots @ 1/2 throtle). After about 20 minutes I did not see any water coming from the exhaust so I shut down the engine and sailed back in. What might cause the water/ no water situation. I am on a fresh water lake and this is a raw water cooled engine ignition is hot wired presently and I do not trust any of the gauges. The last time this happened in the slip I checked the (New) impeller, hose fittings and thru hull all appeared normal with water flowing as expected. ???
