Engine smoking

i/7/06
Baja 188 18ft

Just as we're leaving the harbor out of dana point, we noticed smoke coming out of the boat. I opened up the engine compartment and a huge amount of smoke came out. The temp gauge was pinned. Well we made it back safely, but now satrt the repairs.

I've been told, its the manifold, wter pump or impeller, or the riser. This is gonna be my first time working on the boat, and I want to get familiar with it.
Any suggestions? I'm on my way to a boat repair place in pomona, to see if they have any books.

thanks
