Hello all -
New Grady owner here as of late July. Boat is a 1993 Escape with a '93 Yamaha 225hp outboard and I'm having a little trouble with the temp alarm going off after using the engine for a bit. Example, ran the boat approx. 5-6 miles at three-quarter throttle with no issues, but then throtle back to cruise at 8-10 mph for a bit and then temp alarm goes off. Done this twice now and after each time, I shut down the engine, let it cool and then restarted and returned to harbor with no trouble. Previous owner had impellor replaced a few months ago - any ideas on what may be causing this issue? Any advice on where to start? I should add that it is pumping water and oil so I thought this was a little strange.
Was hoping to get a little more use out of the boat before pulling from water and taking to dealer for a good once over as the boat is new to me. Appreciate any advice.
