Engine Randomly Turns Off

[leelaur]

I've been having an issue with my tritoon for the last couple months. When running at very low speed, say when leaving the slip or pulling up the anchor, the check engine light, overheat light, and low oil light all three beep and light up and the engine shuts off. The engine has always immediately restarted with no problem until a few days ago and it would not start at all and we had to be towed back to our slip. We just had the boat serviced a month ago with an oil change, new water pump, new spark plugs, fuel filter, etc. Any ideas?

See the yamaha alarm guide below. When all 3 indicators are activated it's most commonly related to the battery. And being that you're experiencing power issues, I'd say that's where your problem is located. Check battery charge and connections.

It's a Suzuki DF 150. We just replace the battery this spring. When the engine dies we still have the horn and radio working.

I'll add that I just went to the boat and disconnected and reconnected the harness on the engine and got 4 beeps and the boat then started. However, it died again as we were idling away from the dock and wouldn't restart.
