I have seen this on other vessels with the rubber exhaust bellows installed. The raw water gets cut off some how and before the engine gets to alarm point, the rubber exhaust bellows melts or catches fire.
Last time I have seen this happen (about 6 months ago) is when the raw water intake pipes where infested with muscles the size of your pinky nail.
