2018 LSV fresh water inlet Valve OFF - damage??

The 2018 engine should be closed cooling (antifreeze/coolant) and also uses lake water to cool the exhaust and the heat exchanger.  If you did not get a high temperature alarm on your dash while running then your engine was being sufficiently cooled by the closed cooling system.  However, you melted down your impeller, cooling hoses, and likely some sensors on the freshwater side.  It is likely that the engine is fine but you could have a $2,000 repair depending upon the number of melted sensors/wires.

what temp did it get up to?  I left mine closed and noticed when I was idling out and the temp read 209.  I stopped opened it up and within 30 seconds of starting it was down to 160 again.  Still need to check the impeller to see if it did any damage to it.

It should be below and to the left of the strainer.  Look for a red (I think red) handle toward the bottom of the bilge.

This is where proper industrial lockup protocols come in handy.
