I was wondering if I could get some help figuring out a boat issue.
I have a 2004 Johnson 115 4stroke. Today I was heading up the tailrace when I got a warning buzzer that engine was hot. I let it idle so water pump could pump with no load on engine. Buzzer stopped but light stayed on. Had a little bit of smoke. Once I fired back up I went back up at 2000 rpm to see if I could get it to get hot again. I floated down and went back up increasing rpm by 500 each time. It never got hot again. It did this to me once early spring. I shut down and cleaned some gravel from the pee hole and haven't had an issue since till today. Anybody have any ideas what to look at?
