Last Saturday I took my new boat (also my first boat) out for the first time. After idling for about 15 minuets then running all out for about 45 seconds a warning alarm started going off. I shut the motor off for a while and when I restarted it. The alarm did not go off again. So I slowly went back to the dock and got it out of the water. There was plenty of oil in the motor and I did not see the over heat light on.
Yesterday I took it back to the place that I bought it from and the service manager was quite rude and acted like since the alarm stopped after I shut it down that there was no reason to have them look at it.
Is he right? Do warning alarms just go off sometimes even if there is nothing wrong with the motor?
P.S. The motor is a 1995 50hp Yamaha 2 stroke tiller.
Nice to finally meet you tonight. Make sure you tell me who you are again next time you come in. I will probably forget.
Let me know when you are dropping in again and I'll make sure we have more of those beverages around!
This northern boy needs a little help with this one.
Dried up kill hole in the duck timber?
Quicksand that all the deer fell into?
Cool lighting in a forest that’s so different from ours?
I’ve never been in the AR woods before but you’ve arrived by the looks of it.
Good luck.
