RPM light

Got a question, I have a 2004 rxp with 35 hours on it. I have only ridden it twice since I have had it and this past weekend, I noticed the light below my rpms was coming on pretty often. Sometimes when out of the water, sometimes on turns, and a few times when going about 15mph it was blinking on and off? any ideas on what this could be from? and I have not changed to the metal washers yet, going to after the 4th, could the light be telling me that I have blew the washers apart?

also, the water was pretty rough and I noticed that I could only get to about 7500 rpms even when wot, but too rough to get anywhere close to top speed? is the rough water the cause of the low rpms?

I had a similar problem this year . My check engine light would come on when we were at wot sometimes I didn't experience the drop in rpm. After looking around on here I changed my oil to amsoil marine 4 stroke and also changed my spark plugs. We had it out all week on vacastion on lake anna and had no problems. The amsoil is expencive but I think that was my problem. what kind of oil do you have in your ski?
