I've got a pr of 225's that I bought a few months ago. They have been running perfect. This past weekend the starboard motor alarmed 2 times. Running at about 3800 the buzzer came on steady and the rpm's dropped way down and I immediately brought them both to idle. Buzzer stayed on. I cut the engine off for a few seconds and restarted. All seemed fine. I ran for 5 minutes at around 3400 and all was fine. I bumped them up to 4000 and pretty soon I got the buzzer again and power drop. I cut it off and when I tried to restart it wouldn't crank. I pulled the cover and checked the oil, it was fine. I don't have oil or temp gauges (only lights). No lights came on, only the buzzer. I have water pressure gauges and both were reading 20psi and had very strong pee streams when the problem occurred.
What are the lights supposed to do during the start procedure? When I turn the key on, both red lights come on, then one goes out. After the engine is running the other red light goes off. These are the 2 red lights away from the key. I can't say for sure if I've ever seen the other 2 lights come on (the ones mounted on the metal plate with the key switch).
After sitting for a few minutes I was able to restart the engine and ran back to the dock at around 3300 rpm's with no more alarms.
Is this a temperature alarm?
engines have 900 hrs and were serviced before I bought them with new water pumps etc.
