How would an air-cooled boat engine with functioning cooling system over heat?
Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina - Duxford Airshow Oct 2010

If the cooling system is in good working order, what possible way is there for it to over heat?


The "flywheel fan" turns at the same speed as the engine. If the engine is heavily loaded it slows down, so it's not cooling as well and at the same time generating more heat. See Answer above.
