I have just bought myself my first boat with an outboard it is a yamaha 40hp 96/97 model .I took it out on the tyne yesterday everything working as it should pumping plenty of water but when I give it more than half throttle a buzzer sounds in the control box .when I throttle off it stops after a minute or so . can anyone help as I know nothing about them what is the buzzer for ? .the engine is under warrenty so I can take it back

Great repy and link ell, and very informative I always thought the tell-tale jet was a sure sign that everything was fine with the outboard pump and impeller, you live and learn.
