I was cruising home yesterday at 4200 RPM and had overheat and oil alarm go off. Audible and flashing bar above the oil symbol on gauge.
I shut off starboard motor and alarms went off and then *****ed in to dock.
The motor was hot and checking oil level it was only down a inch on stick, I added some and restarted. The oil light flash was gone.
I slowly left the marina to get home and only went up to 1800 RPM, the flasher alarm over the oil can came back on. I again turned off motor and *****ed on the port motor. After about 10 min I re-started starboard and kept at 1000 RPM and made it back 3 miles to service dock.
Can hot motor cause oil alarm? We could not get alarm or flashing symbol at the dock.. any ideas .. Thank you.
Were planning to test oil pressure..but they say the oil pumps never go in these Yamaha motors..
