if it is a 98 it can be either a dfi ficht,or carbed motor,even the dfi motors has intruder decals on them,so you will need to see which it is,96 would be carbed only.
1 check oil tank level,if it is close to low it will trip the low oil alarm when you take off,it will shut off once you get going and oil levels out,fill up tank.
2 if it is a fuel restriction,very good chance you have a bad anti siphon valve,in the fitting on the tank where the fuel line connects,remove fitting knock out ball and re install.notorious for tripping high rpm alram,usually 3500+ rpm and up.to get a portable tank,fill it and hook it to your motor,and run it.be sure to plug the line coming from the boat mounted tank.this is what i'm betting you will find.
3 while your in there check all fuel ine and oil line connections for seepage where they clamp.signs of places to suuck air in.
4 you should have the system check warning system,the gauge should indicate,low oil,no oil,in the tank only,over heat.check engine,it indicates fuel restriction if it's lit.
if not done recently i would change the fuel filter,add a water seperator and check your fuel lines for deterioration.as stated in the earlier post,if it is a ficht it will have the codes stored in the computer,you will need to take it and have them read at a dealer,1st thing then go from there.
