I have owned this boat for 2 years without problems. I'm in Illinois so I believe it has spent it's life in fresh water. Motor is 1990 VRO 60 hp Johnson remote with power tilt/ trim. It's on a 24' pontoon. After about 2 minutes at full throttle the overheat alarm sounds. That's about 3,200 rpm on my boat. I pull back to idle & alarm stops in about 30 seconds. I have good water from telltale. I can run 2,500 to 2,800 rpm all day but get the alarm if I go near or over 3000.
I'm a competent auto mechanic but new to outboards. Want to know where to start. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
John
