Location: Burlington, WI | I have a '97 115 Merc 2 stroke, 4 cylinder. I was out this weekend and I was going as slow as I possible could for about 20 minutes when the low oil/over temp buzzer started going off. I checked the oil to make sure I had enough, and I had plenty of oil. So that wasn't the problem unless the engine wasn't getting oil for some reason. The engine was real hot, but the it was pumping water the entire time. Is it possible that going that slow for that amount of time at low RPMs that the engine just wasn't drawing up enough water to cool the engine. After it happened the first time we let the engine cool and then we cruised across the lake no problem, and the engine was fine out on the main lake as well. If the theory I already presented isn't the case then am I in some trouble.
Thanks
