What causes an outboard motor to overheat while running?
Rust and corrosion accumulate and clog the water passages. You can check this by touching the risers when the engine is running. If it is noticeably warm to the touch, this is a sign it is clogged. Before touching it, make sure it is cool enough so not to burn the hand.

Is there a high temperature alarm on a Yamaha 115?
I have a 1994 Yamaha 115 that gives high temperature alarm when I run at high speeds (4200 rpm)– when alarm sounds, engine starts running rough (as per manual) until it drops under 2000. It acts normal at low speeds…go to high speed and it will give high temperature alarm. Slow down to under 2000 rpm, the alarm will stop after a few minutes.

Is the overheating alarm on my Yamaha outboard still working?
The wires were still pliable. Yes, as far as it seems to me, the overheat issue is resolved – no more alarm, tell tale is shooting water, engine doesn’t appear overheated and not shaking vigorously anymore.
