91 SN Overheating SOS Please (Fixed)

Hello everybody!

my 91 SN is overheating, before i start taking things apart i just want to hear some opinions.
link to my build thread: http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/51812

everything was fine until this last ride in somewhat shallow water that was dirty and lots of weeds/debris that i had to clean intake grade couple times during that ride!

engine gets so hot that you can boil eggs or make tea :biggrin:
and even melted some of the hoses.

i'm assuming something got in the hose lines somewhere?
do you guys think its the main pump line that brings water in?

and on top of all this, i had my other x2 with me that day, and exact same thing happened to the x2 as well!

advice and help on solving this fast and accurate would be perfect!

how many pissers are you running?
too many can cause overheating.
the water in the jacket is moving through too fast to adequately cool the motor

two pissers, one on each cylinder.
I dont think thats the problem in my case, since all was working great for a month straight....
 
started looking at the ski today, and found the problem in 10 seconds :)
the water hose coming from the pump came loose and came off exhaust manifold fitting! got that fixed and replaced all melted hoses.

had enough time to kill 2 tanks of gas, all is working up to our standarts :Banane25:
