    I have a 2001 Mercury 50hp ELPT 4 stroke . I don't know too much about outboards . We bought this boat about a year ago used. The motor starts great and it was a little rough around 3000 but usually runs well around 4500/5000rpms tops. The last couple times we've had it out its been rough...

    Early last month we had a warning buzzer that sounded all the time (overheat tone).We sent for the manuals for our engine a 1992 Mariner 40hp.Although they were informative they didn't really help me with what was going on with my engine.
