Wondering if I should re-post under a new thread, since it is a new symptom (i.e no start), even though it may be related to this thread/post. I want to make sure the knowledge gathered is findable by others. Thoughts?
Thank you for the fast response, @racerone . No. I didn't realize that a water pump impeller had such a short life. Good to know. Would a bad water pump impeller cause a "no start" (to prevent overheating perhaps)?
Me, again, with the 1994 Evinrude E30ELERM. I just got another one of those sporadic overheat/alarm conditions the other day - except this time it really was running hot (after only a 20min casual cruise). As soon as the alarm buzzed, I shut the engine down and now the engine won't start at all...
Looks like we've got the same engine! I've always had great water flow from the "telltale" (have never heard that term before), but have had some intermittent issues with the alarm in the control box. If it helps, you can see how this forum has helped me with a few other conditions. Also, if...

I’m reaching out to get some fresh thoughts on my boat engine ‘’no start” situation. My 1994 Evinrude 2-stroke ELRM30 (30hp) in my boat wouldn’t turn over the other day (just a hum) after starting and running fine 7 days prior, including starting and running fine for many years. I immediately...
Events leading up to issue:
I replaced the ignition/key module in my control box recently (simple wire terminal swap out) and noticed that the new ignition hums an alarm-like sound when the key is turned to the run position. I recalled the seller telling me about the "deadman switch/key"...
