Yamaha 4 Stroke Phantom Alarm?

[albrewer]

I have a 2001 Yamaha F115 4 Stroke that starts and runs fine, however lately an alarm has been sounding at high RPM (between 5300-5800). <br />Neither the oil or overtemp indicator go on and the motor continues to run smoothly (although I quickly slow down when the alarm sounds). <br />After letting the motor idle for a minute or so I run it back up slowly to 4,500 RPM or so and everything seems fine. The water pump outlet stream seems normal as does everything else. Anybody have any ideas?<br />Thanks

Yep - How long has it been since the impeller & thermostats were replaced? The teltale is not the best indicator of the condition of the waterpump.

Hi Al<br />Is there a fuel seperator on your engine?

Thanks for the suggestions. <br />SoLittle, the Impeller and Thermostats are original and of course have never been replaced. I will have that done.<br />Skeets, there is a Fuel Separator on the engine and at the beginning of the season it looked OK(No water obvious in the fuel) but I guess the question is what do I look?<br />Once again thanks for the help. I love my Yamaha and want to keep it running right.

Skeets, I just noticed that in my first reply I stopped before I said what to look "for" in the last sentence. Guess I gotta proof read everything before it gets sent out, Thanks again.
