I have a 2003 200 hp Yamaha Vmax 3.1 L fuel injected ob. While I was running on the water ,the constant alarm that I believe is the oil alarm went off. The oil in the resorvoir was low and I refilled it. The alarm stopped. It came back on a few minutes later. If I trim the engine up so the prop is just under the water it runs with no alarm. If I drop it down lower ,it alarms. Any ideas? There is water coming out.
 
The low oil warning is the same sound as for the over temperature warning.

The reservoir that sets the low oil warning is the main oil tank on the motor. You should not have to refill it. It should be refilled automatically.

A Yamaha tachometer will tell you if the alarm is for low oil or excessive temperature.

Water from the tell tale is not the same water that cools the motor.
