" Hello all- just found your board today- I'm trying to get a few answers about a small problem I'm having
The outboard is a '93 Mariner Magnum 4 cylinder-its been a great outboard with relatively few problems-last impeller change was about 3 years ago-due to drought in our area and no water in the lakes the motor doesnt have 20 hrs on it since the change but I do crank it up at least once a month
I was out yesterday for a ride and the warning buzzer started with a continuos beep indicating overheating problem-good stream out the tell tale-I idled back to the boat ramp-it buzzed just about he whole time-some times intermittently
Took it out 2 weeks ago and it ran great with no problems-only thing I have done since then is new plugs and new fuel filter-but the fuel filter was not OEM and is smaller than OEM-could this possibly be causing a lean fuel condition and causing the overheating or is it possible the module itself has gone bad? Any way to rule out the module question?
I'm headed to the shop with it tommorow but I'd kinda like to get an idea of some problems it might be
Any help/replies appreciated-thanks for your time
