overheating cause
went out yesterday with a few people and after about 30 seconds at 4500 rpms the motor powered down and the temp light went on.
tell tail was pissin the entire time.
I am happy that the motor protects itself but after I turned it off and waited a bit then started up again, no issues for the rest of the day.
maybe a bag or something? she is almost due for a new impeller. Not a great feeling when your trying to head out a few miles.
its a suzuki df115 05 with 190hrs.

All good advice. Do you have a water pressure gauge? Typically the pressure drops off significantly when the impeller starts to go. If it reads normal now then I would go with the debris theory and just keep an eye on it.
Good luck!

thanks for all the replies on this guys. I just have the all in one gauge that suzuki puts out in 05 and 06, not sure if it's changed in 07 and on. I think I will be investing in a water pressure gauge this off season.
Like I said I'm almost at my 200 hours so the impeller will be changed, my predicament is that I have a 7 day vineyard trip coming up at the end of the month and I would hate to have the boat out of commission for it.
Im not too concerned if it's a computer or anything major since I have warranty for the next year and then most likely extending it.
Heres hoping all is fine for my next few local trips.

yep, i raised it, all was clear.
i'm going with the bag or seaweed theory. i'll let them know when I go in for service but Im willing to wager it's already logged in the computer somewhere.  |

Same exact thing happend to me three weeks ago off Ptown. Even though it ran OK after it cooled had water pump replaced as it was due anyway.
