  1. Alarm on 150 Yamaha 2 stroke

    in Boating and Fishing Discussion

    Posted

    Hello, I have a 2004 - 150 HP, 2 cycle, carbureted Yamaha Outboard and had the alarm go off this weekend. I pulled the boat of the garage and started the engine for the first time of the spring using a hose and muffs. I have used muffs a hundred times and never had a problem. After about 10 minutes of running the alarm sounded. The engine was never running at more the an idle except for a few seconds when it was choked at start up. I checked to see if water was pumping and found nothing unusual. The pee stream seemed normal. When the alarm sounded I immediately shut the engine off. Turning the key to the on position, without starting the engine, produced the alarm again. The on-board oil tank was full and the external oil tank was half full.

    I believe it was an overheat alarm as the shaft of the motor felt warm. I connected the hose to the hose port near the cowl and let water flush through the system. The water coming out felt warm. A little while later when I turned the key the on position the there was no alarm. The T stats and impeller were changed in August or September 2009. Any thoughts? Should I be concerned or is something that should not be a problem when the outboard is run in the water? Thanks
