I'm trying to determine whether the alarm (sounds like a bosun's whistle) I hear after 3/4 throttle for perhaps a minute is because I switched fuel hoses to one that has an in-line fuel filter or because the engine is overheating. The first year I had it, I think it went into SLOW mode (no alarm) fairly often because I am new to boating and didn't know that the problem was because the carbuerators needed cleaning. This is the only time I have heard the alarm in 3 years of operating this engine, and it has happened each of the three times I have run the boat after switching fuel hoses.
I now have a mechanic who got my engine going correctly last year and who will be working on my engine once I haul out, but I don't know whether I can motor to the haulout (about a mile away from my mooring) or should just get towed there.
Info on the SPL's is a little confusing, and I haven't found very much information about them (I think mine is a '96) besides their being stripped-down versions of more expensive models. Is there anywhere online I can get more information about my engine?
Thanks for any info!
