No. The motor has no idea what it's attached to, it's just a PTO to a driveshaft to a (pump,mixer,wheel,etc..) The wear ring is just a plastic insert that goes around your impeller to create thrust. The engine light could be a coincidence that you hit your 50 hour mark. My guess is your TOPS is not resetting. What does your oil look like?

oil is dirty
what is TOPS?
its going in for 50hr service
oil change
and winterization anyways
What exactly is dirty? Is it dark OR milky like chocolate milk?
T.O.P.S. = Tip Over Protection System(but the more I look I'm not sure if it's installed on the ACE motor). It's like a little ball that hits a switch when you flip your ski and sends it into limp mode. Is it the "engine" light or the "wrench" light? Since you're taking it in for service tell the tech exactly what first so he can get it on BUDS and read the code. I would get it there ASAP in case you ingested any water.

you have a low oil pressure fault that came up because it ran on its side or upside down long enough to loose oil pressure, read your owners manual, when you flip your machine you are suppose to let it sit for 5 mins and then start it and accelerate to about half throttle until the fault clears. I have done this many times on mine. I don't think the spark has TOPS, if it did it would shut off by itself when it gets on its side.
yea it was nothing thanks for tips
