My Evinrude 200 got grass stuck in the water intake and water pump got sluggish. Motor died and will not crank. All I get is a beep and a "check engine" light. What's wrong?

you probably over heat.... a constant beep is the overheat alarm if im not mistaken... does it beep with the motor cold?
disconnect your heat sensors and see if the beep stops...

i would definetly take the lower unit down and inspect the water pump or replace if older than a year... open the Tstats and inspect them for any restrictions... some of the grass/dirt might've got past the pump and got u[ in the block and or Tstats

motor died and will not crank? does the flywheel spin when you try to start? starter spinning? we need more info

good luck

This obviously is a System Check gauge with lights as well as a horn. Doesn't "check engine" mean fuel restriction (not overheat)? Isn't there also an "overheat" alarm? Check your owner's manual.

What year 200? or model #? will the flywheel turn? does the starter turn the flywheel. you really did not tell us much to go on.
