Came on this morning, not WOT, pulled throttle back to idle and it went off. Checked oil and it was full, serviced recently. Any suggestions? Thanks

Sounds like water flo problem, did you put an impreller in when you serviced it??
Temp alarm....Your water pump impellor probably needs replaceing.
Replaced when serviced, top and bottom, good strong stream from hole.Quote:

Dang man. To saltwater lucks like mine. It's either oil or temp. Maybe the oils not going in?
It's a four stroke, gewber.Quote:

Fish ON:fish
4 stroke doesn't need oil? Never had one before
Uh....DD, a four stroke is just like your car motor. It don't mix oil with the gas.Quote:

Never been around a 4 stroke before
That's what's under your hood gewber. Lawnmower Nessa ran this morning, four stroke. Weed eater you ran this morning, probably 2 stroke.Quote:

Oil is very clean.
Anyone know if that's a filter in the 1st and 2nd pics. 2006 merc 4 stroke EFT 75hp.
That's a water separator filter major....It has a float inside that is supposed to float up if you have water in your fuel. Your alarm is temperature....your either running hot or your temp sender could have gone bad....also a stream of water out the pee hole does not mean everything is OK...Its just a flow indicator.....you can have a weak water pump and the pee hole still have a stream of water.
Thanks G
You might have pick up a plastic bag on the lower unit
Didn't u have a new impeller installed? Hope they got it goin the right direction. Intake cud b partially stopped up. Or like wd said, cuda picked up something and now it's gone.
Yes, new impeller installed when Rob, owner of Action Marine, did complete upper and lower service a few months ago, haven't put but an hour or so on it since then.Quote:

Willing to bet Feelay pegged it.Quote:

I did install a big spin on water separator filter though between the fuel tank and the engine. That way with the water problems caused by ethanol I have extra protection.
So, could water in the filter inside the cowling make the alarm come on?Quote:

Does that filter in my pics just screw off??
Should

There are plenty of marine shops down there. Go let one hook it to the computer and quit guessing.
blacks specks sounds like fuel line particles cause by ethanol eating the inside of your fuel line up. The new fuel lines ( the gray ones) are alcohol resistant and are marked as such and they will not come apart.
They make alcohol resistant bulbs now also
Ran it this morning on the Rez WOT for about 30min, no problems. Must have been something in the filter.
Was nice on the Rez this morning.
good deal major
