I just had my 81 glastron up in the brainerd lakes area (mn) for the weekend. I launched her and she fired right up and ran like a champ for about a half hour. It then started making a wierd clicking noise and died. I noticed that i had a crack in the oil hose and made a quick fix, let it sit a while, came back and it started and ran great for about 20 min. then died and has not started since. It wants to turn over but wont start. Also noticed that the battery terminals were getting unusually hot! Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appriciated. Thanks everyone!!

Check compression to see if you cooked the pistons and rings. Do this with the plugs out and the thottle advanced. They should all be around 100 psi.
