I did some regular maintenance on it (plugs, lower unit oil, spray down) and now the check engine light comes on after a short period. It will go off after a few minutes in neutral and come on again after a few minutes in gear. I don?t know if what i did would be directly related to this issue, or if its just a quencidence that its happening right after that work. What do you think?

I am by far no mechanic. HoweverI have been told that the check engine light on that motor usually indicates a fuel problem. Check your bulb and see if its tight then check your fuel lines...Hopefully someone else will chime in with better info....

What year eninge????? oil injected????? More info please.

Is there an alarm buzzer going off as well. Is it pulsing????

does the engine light turn on at higher rpm or only idle???

That fuel comment reminded me that i also changed the fuel/water sepperator also. It is a 2003, there is an alarm that accompanies the light; it is a constant alarm. The light and alarm did not go off while idling.

When's the last time you changed the water pump impeller?

I agree with above, make sure your motor is peeing but it sounds like a temp alarm to me.

A continous alarm is an indicator of overheating.
