Default Re: Overheat Alarm

Mine did go off again yesterday, but everything was okay with the motor. When it went off, my wife said to do what I had to do. She told that if we need to get another motor, now is the time to find out. So, I ran this motor at full speed at least 5 miles up the river and 5 miles. I did everything to make this motor seize or blow up. Then all of a sudden my wife looked at me and said turn it off an pull the key all the way out of the ignition. She then waited for the hour meter to stop ticking and counted to 60. She told to put the key back in and crank it. I did and we went the rest of the day with everything running great and no horn going off. She said that she had remembered that when her dad owned the boat shop, the mechanic had showed her how to reset the system. I had put in the new stats but had not reset it, so the engine still thought it had a problem. ;D
