V1 WAS SOUTHBOUND IN THE ICW JUST SOUTH OF THE OCEAN AVENUE BRIDGE AND THE OPERATOR NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE GAUGE WAS SHOWING AN OVERHEAT WARNING. THE OPERATOR PULLED V1 INTO THE OCEAN RIDGE NATURAL AREA AND TIED OFF TO THE FLOATING DOCK ON THE WEST SIDE. THE OPERATOR OPENED THE REAR HATCH TO LOOK AT THE ENGINE AND OBSERVED FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. BOTH OCCUPANTS THEN JUMPED OFF THE VESSEL ONTO THE DOCK AREA AND CALLED 911. DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE BOAT/DOCK FIRE RESCUE WAS UNABLE TO GET FIRE EQUIPMENT TO THE SCENE TO PUT OUT THE VESSEL FIRE. NO INJURIES REPORTED.
