Have you done a compression test on all cylinders? My guess is you have a dead cylinder (no oil to one or more cylinders causing loss of power). If the compression test passes (all cylinders equal and higher than 100-110 psi) you have a restricted exhaust from a failed catalytic converter that has broken apart.

I have a 2000 Yamaha waverunner (1200 XL) with error code E*HST. what does this mean? Please help!!!

See page 46 of the attached PDF manual (page 2-19) What you are actually seeing is "EXHST" which indicates the exhaust temp is too high. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/assets/service/manuals/2001/lit-18626-04-01_360.pdf
