I have a 60hp Johnson on my 16' lowe aluminum boat. I just recently got this boat and the previous owner said it has only been ran 2 times in 3 years. Put new fuel in and made sure oil level was good then hit the water. The motor ran so so for about a half hour. bad idle initially then it felt like it was starting to clear the more I ran it. About 1 hour of running I stopped and jumped in the water for about 30 minutes to cool down and when turning the key to start up a constant beep was piercing my ears. I read on the side of driver console that it was a high temp condition if you had near max performance. This had me stumped because I was constantly checking to make sure the motor was spitting water and it was always spraying a strong stream. So my question is where should I start in trying to get this boat fixed to get back on the water. I'm wondering if it has a oil flow problem? Thanks in advance for the help.
