i have a 1989 yammy 200 been sittin for about 3 years , never flushed after the last use(salt water). just got it runnin like a champ but when i was on test run the buzzer went ,off **** stream strong and warm (not hot). so i shut the motor down and turned it back over and the alarm went away , so i drove back to the dock and put it on the trailer. talked to my mechanic buddy and did not like what he had to say. any advise?
or repair cost ballpark?

Welcome to iboats. Just so that we have as much info on your problem as possible, what did your buddy say is likely the problem?

A complete sevicing of the water pump, thermostats, and poppit valve would be the first place to start.
