    Honda BF 150 overheat alarm

    This is a new one for me. It has been difficult to diagnose this issue. Started a month or so ago with the starboard motor. ONLY when accelerating out of the hole will I get an alarm. If I very slowly bring the boat up to speed there is a chance that it wont come on... I checked the paperwork...

    Well, ElDiablo (32 Yellowfin, F350's)is certainly proving to be a little more than adequate as a middlegrounds fishing machine....

    Capt. Rick..!!

    Well, been gone for awhile as I contemplated whether r not to go for my USCG OUPV Captains license.... Retirement was getting a little too dull, even though I seem to keep my plate full.
