Here's yet another stupid new boat owner question. Does the buzzer on my OMC controller indicate an overheating issue or a flow issue?<br /><br />Last week I went to the lake and got into some lake weeds. The buzzer went off a couple times, so I knew there was a circulation issue (the stream was not as strong as usual) so I took it to shore. When I got home, back flushed it and it was fine.<br /><br />Went to the same lake today. After about 10 minutes, buzzer went off again and I got really mad, until I tilted up the motor and notice another big blob of lake grass and muck all around the lower unit. I cleaned it off, and the motor ran fine with no problems or buzzer for the next two hours (most of those pulling a tube). Please note, I'm now staying away from the beach area where I picked up the lake weeds the last two times out...<br /><br />Is this a warning buzzer to let you know your intake is clogged, a overheating problem, or a sign of larger problems? Is it common to suck up lake grass, etc and have this buzzer go off?<br /><br />Any and all help is appreciated. Please look at my other post in Boat Restoration and Building regarding a soft spot in my floor and thoughts on repairing it. Thank you.
