2017 Yamaha 212x check engine

[GanoMan]

Hello.

New to the forum. I just bought a new to me 2017 212x and I'm freaking out a little bit. I have my boat on trailer and yesterday I started it up without water for literally less than 5 seconds. I would actually say like not more than 3 seconds. Today I found some mold in the engine compartment so I sprayed concrobium and let it dry. A few hours after i did the same thing started the starboard engine for 3-5 seconds. All good. Then started the port and a "check port engine" light came on accompanied with an alert sound. (Motor did start and sound good) but I killed it quickly.

I did the system check screen and nothing is popping up. Should I try anything. Could staying the engines like that have ruined them? I have had seadoos and I always started them dry then turned water on as to not ruin engines. And cut water before killing.

Can anyone help? I'm scheduled to have this boat in the water for boat lift installation in two weeks.

What should I do?

No you are not going to do any damage letting it run without water for that small amount of seconds. I would hook it up to hose and see what happens personally. But I'm no expert...lol

What i would do, If i where you is run them on the hose independantly for a few minutes and see if the problem comes up again. Engine -> Water On -> Water Off -> Engine Off. Same as you did before.

Good time to give it a check up on oil, check warm, plugs and everything else you can look around for.

Update: I was able to get a pic from the system control screen.

After some digging looks like it is the thermostat by the numbers the boat is giving me. Has anyone actually replaced these? Seems like there are multiple threads starting like mine with no outcome.

If any one cares. The startup and kill of the engine cycle three times made this code go away.
