Re: 40hp yamaha cutting out

Have you tested the alarm system to see if it is working? ground the pink wire from temp switch to the motor with the key in the on position.
you could be overheating and the alarm is not sounding. Maybe time to change water pump and thermostat.

If that is not the problem then check the fuel supply system. http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=283363
