30hp motor overheating

[rosshughes]

Took the runabout out in the weekend and noticed not much water was pumping out and sometimes would stop all together and the overheating light came on....does it need a new water pump or is it something I can fix.

ross,
Check the water pump intake to make sure it is not clogged up - if it is ok, then it's time for a water pump repair. If you are mechanically inclined and want to do it yourself, go to www.yamahapubs.com and get a Yamaha shop manual. Go to www.boats.net for your water pump kit.
Good luck,
