Was running this weekend, new Z21 to me. I'm still having problems remembering jack plate trim and engine tilt and trim. Well long story made short, wrong trim and engine was not getting enough water, temp alarm goes off. I come off plane, not knowing what is going on, turn engine off. I then realize what I did, lower jack plate, start engine, temp starts to go right down. Alarm clears. Ran back to launch, no other issues.

My question is: any chance I did any damage to the engine? I know this may sound stupid, but I love this boat! Temp gauge was about 3/4, not pegged.

Thanks to all that reply.
