Get her up on plane and head down the lake and alarm again. Got Mercury book out of console and sat on lake and read book. It gives a different alarm for different problem. High temp, replaced water pump impeller and all ok. Would run ok till bout 3000 rpm with great pea stream, but over 3000 rpm overtemp. I change impeller every three years. If oil line doesn't fix problem and your impeller is over 3 years old, might check on a new one.

I do change the impeller every three years too.

Changed Impeller last year, changed hose Sunday, I believe it's a vacuum hose, haven't seen a book on it yet and haven't got it out to try. I'll let you know when I do. Appreciate all the comments

Just thought I'd mention this, Came home from Fishing , Outboard Motor buzzing ( oil buzzer ) truck needing oil change and Motorcycle puking oil ( bad oil pump ) WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS..........GOOD OL' MURPHY'S LAW

Had a similar experience with batteries last week. Car battery went out in the Walmart parking lot and the Gator battery when I got home. Fortunately the Walmart batter was still under warranty. Got a new one for free. If anyone tells you there is no inflation, the old battery was $69 the new one $99.

Know what you mean. I'm governed by O'Brien's Law.
O'Brien's law: Murphy was a friggin' optimist.

If I read your first post correctly, the buzzer went off in the same spot both times, hell man, just avoid that spot! You're welcome, next question.:biggrin

Starter on boat went out, lost transmission on tow vehicle and then battery died on the wife's car. What's next?
