Default Drive sucking in water. Engine overheating

So took my new boat out today and the port side engine started overheating. I checked the water intake to make sure nothing was blocking it and it was sucking in water when the motor is off. On a related note my hull was filling up with water faster than the bildge could pump it out. I'm thinking they are related but not sure what to look for. Suggestions?
