hello everyone im new to this forum and i have been here lots before becoming a member.and i see there are alot off nowledge around here.maybe you can help me.i have a evenrude 1997 200hp vidicator.when im at WOT my alarm goes off .but when i back off it turns off.so i went ahead and changed the impeller even though the pee in back was stronge and good.so i take it out and the buzzer still goes off only difrence is it goes off i back off the trottle and turns off for few seconds and turns back on.so now is worse than before.do you think if i change T/states this will go away.i just purchase the boat and the guy told me there was nothing wronge with it and by the looks of it under the cover it looks like a 2010 engine.brand new.i also had water in lower unit i change all seals in prop and in inside but still getting water in there.please help...i did learn one thing..never judge a book by its cover.

Re: hi everyone

Welcome. seals on the drain & vent screws are one use only. could be tstat, could also be oil warning, is this a FICHT motor? model # of motor.

Re: hi everyone

Pit, Those V6 motors have a fuel restriction alarm, as well as an overheat alarm, and low oil and no oil alarms. Since you mix gas and oil, I presume those oil alarms are disconnected?

If you can figure out which alarm you are getting (Overheat or fuel restriction) you may be able to fix it. AA lot of times the fuel restriction alarm is caused by plugged fuel filters or water seperators or a bad antisiphon valve.

Re: hi everyone

cris i know is the overheating alarm because the vpo was deleted by a professional boat dealer.and i only have one buzzer under dash.i dont know if they use one for everything or one buzzer for each warning.but i only have one.does this help

Re: hi everyone

ok i took of the t/stats and ran engine for about 5 min. and was able to put my hands on head covers foever without burning.this i could not do before cause it would get too hot maybe 1 or 2 seconds at most.i took some pic.can you tell me what is that thing between the two t/stats.also inside engine col you can see how something was plug and behind lower unit same plug.the one behind lower unit if i remove it waster squirt out while engine running.should i leave this pluged.also see how vro was eliminated.what you guys think.

Are the stats clean?
Put the thermostats in a pan of water with a thermometer and watch for temp when they open. I think its around 145F but someone will chime in with the correct temp, I can't reach my manual from this chair, lazy today.
But go ahead and test them.
Maybe flush the system out with a hose, the other thing it can be if the thermos check out good is the water deflectors under the head.
