I (SOMETIMES) get an overheat alarm when trolling. This only happens sometimes. I shut the motor down and sometimes I can fire it right back up and the alarm is gone, other times, I have to let it sit for 15-30 minutes and let it cool off before the alarm stops.
Where do I begin?
The first time this happened (about a month ago), I immediately replaced the thermostats because they were cheap and had no idea when the last time the PO did it. I thought this solved the problem, but it's come back up again...
Again, this is at low speed/trolling/idle only. On plane, I never get the alarm. Also, the water pump is new!
Thanks in advance for the help in troubleshooting!
