Took my 2003 Yamaha 2 stroke out the other day and the alarm starting to sound. This means it was either oil or overheating. Shut down for a few minutes, filled the engine mount oil tank with emergency switch. Started up, alarm still sounding, started to head in and alram shut off. Ran around the lake for a bit no problems at full throttle. Slowed down and put in idle with in minutes it was alarming again, would not shut off. At home checked all wire connections with oil injection system, seems to work. Any way to verify? What about the overheating part? How do you verify? Any help would be great.

when was the last time you changed your impeller?

[tjm]

I last changed my prop about 4-5yrs ago. The one on, does not seem to show any major damage, only a few small nicks here and therer.

hes refering to the impeller. your water pump in the lower unit. when was it last replaced, or your poppet valve. mine was stuck on my yammy 130 causing the same isses you have.

[tjm]

My impeller, poppit valve or anything with the water pumps has never been changed. Where do I find the water pump parts? How do you tell if they need to be replaced? Any help would be great. Any schematics would aslo be great.
