While I had the boat all apart I noticed the 4 inch hose after the muffler had collapsed some in the middle. So I changed it out and upon inspection I found that it had gotten very hot at some point in time before I purchased the boat. Here are the pictures.

Exhaust hoses are a good tell-tale indicator that the engine has been over-heated. Engines that get too hot can develop latent problems like cracked heads/block, head gasket issues, piston rings that loose temper, etc. Hopefully your CC has had the problem corrected and that any residual issues won't show up later and bite you in the butt.

Yup. That's pretty much what mine looked like last year when I left the intake hose disconnected and overheated my engine. I'd get those hoses changed out before they start to leak (if they haven't already). Fortunately, the tolerance for those melting is pretty low. After going over it pretty thoroughly after my overheat, my engine didn't suffer any major damage. Hopefully, yours will continue to be fine, too.

Thanks I know the hose failure temp is pretty low. If any damage was done to the motor who knows. I did not own it then, if it breaks I will fix it. But so far the engine runs great has lots of power, no leaks or issues.

I have been doing some preventative work on the engine. Rebuilt water pump, found most of the vanes missing. Decided to completely overhaul the pump. New bearings, seals the works. Also decided to replace the thermostat and try to find some of the missing vanes. I found the port going to the risers completely plugged up. I imagine this is what was real hard on the hoses. I know there may be rubber parts inside the water jacket but they will just have to flush out. I will not take the motor apart until I have trouble. Will post picture when I have it.

Here is the picture of the plugged water pump port. No telling how long it had been plugged.
