Hey Gang,<br /><br />I ran my boat the other day and when I got it in the water it has done this twice now. <br /><br />1. I have to put it in neutral and throttle it to about 3000-4000 rpms to get the water into the engine so that the Tell-Tale will pee. If I don't do that the alarm sounds and I have to let it cool down and then it runs fine. <br /><br />2. The second time I put it in the water and it didn't start peeing, until I put it in neutral and increased rpms and it started to pee and alarm went off. I reversed off dock and tried to take off and motor ran like crap. Turned off engine for 5 seconds re-started, it began to pee immeidateately and Got on plan quickly. Ran fine after that all day.<br /><br />Oh yeah, I just recently had a mechanic put a new water pump and look at it in mid-December.<br /><br />Any advice?
