Just started my SX200TXRB for the first time using a hose and muffler. Started up great - it took a minute but I got some weak water flow out the pee hole - but I have never had great water pressure in the hose. After a couple minutes the buzzer started to go off. I shut it right down and gave it a few minutes but the buzzer went off again as soon as I started it up. The water pump is 2 years old. Any other diagnostics I can do? Should I bring it to the launch and start it up there to see if running it completely submerged will improve the flow? Any other conditions I should check to make sure its an overheat buzzer? The oil reservoir is full. Thanks.

But then trying it submerged in water would be a good idea also since you said your wayer pressure was not any good

Unfortunately I don't have a temp gauge of any sort - the console has analog dials without a temp indicator. I tried to submerge the lower unit in a garbage can but its not wide enough to fit the entire unit. I guess I'll take it to the dock and sit at idle for a bit to see. I talked with the mechanic at my marina today and he felt that it was likely that the muffs were not providing enough water flow - best tested with the unit submerged. We will see this weekend....
