Evinrude 150 hp

[Pro V Dlx]

Please help,my motor started beeping occasionally,when

starting.Shut it off,restart it no beeping,next startup

same thing.I check oil level,motors spiting water.What could this be? Should I take it in for service? I replaced the impeller last fall.Any help is appreciated.

Is it a continuous alarm or an intermitent one? The intermitent one is the no oil alarm. I had a similar experience with a 90 hp Evinrude. It turned out to be a problem with the bulb on the oil line. The pressure in the oil reservoir was low and the engine wasn't getting oil so the alarm would go off until I pumped the bulb again and built up the pressure. I changed out the bulb and never had a problem again.

That would get annoying.

I had the continuous beeping on my 60hp because it was overheating. It went through some thick weeds and it caused the impeller inside the shaft to over heat and melt. I had to get a new pump put in.

My brother had the same problem. Only happened in cold weather. Dealer told him alarm was going off because oil was too thick when cold and motor wasn't getting proper amount, they recomended switching to the xd100. More expensive, but no problems in cold weather so far.

I'd like a little clarification... when the alarm is going off (and the engine is running) you shut the key off and turn it back on immediately and the horn stops? And it stays off until when? The next time you stop and restart the engine, or until you've run at full throttle and are idling?

I belive the constant buzzer is either no oil or overheating...

I have seen, on a rare occasion though, where the warning horn has been bad, but that was only once.

Let us know what happens with it. Do you like the Evinrude 150? I am picking up a boat this weekend with an 1995 Evinrude Intruder 150 hp, V6 on it. It is a 19 foot Stratos bass boat. The guy I am buying it from says the motor runs great and really pushes the boat. What do you think of it?

[marine_man]

Bringing it in is a good idea.. it sounds like the issue is with the horn, or with a sensor on the motor or oil tank... and not an issue with how the motor is running...

Let us know what they find...

Thanks for all the replys.I brought it in today to be looked

at and fixed if needed,will let you know how it turns out.

Bushwacker- Thats the same yr and model that I have.I have owned it since the fall of 96 and never had any problems of any kind what so ever.I have had a few other motors over the years and this is by far the most reliable

that Ive had.

I just got back from the lake,the motor works great. It turned out to be a thermostat.Thanks to everyone for all your help and good fishing to everyone!
