Yamaha 200ETXJ Monday, out with family on the river, ran it up to 5k rpm. At speed for about a minute, and I get an audible alarm from inside the console, and it starts running a little rough. I stop, shut it down, wait a few seconds, restart, and it runs fine afterwards. What kind of problem will give me an audible alarm. This is my 1st boat, and the previous owner didn't say anything about alarms.

Tach is, I think the other are aftermarket, temp gauge is inop, so I'm constantly looking over my shoulder for the water stream.

Re: Alarms?

New wrinkle: Previous owner explained to me to mix 50:1, he said that translated to 12gal gas:1qt oil. Yesterday, I'm at West Marine. I buy a container that has the different mixing ratioes on it, it shows 50:1 as being 10 gal:1qt. West Marine guys say I should go with their ratio, could this have caused an overheat??
