Re: water flow alarm
I put one on my 470 with alpha i drive about 1998.Didnt work that well,even at low setting it would go off, and if I recall right this was not just at idle rpm. It sounded good idea to me but after much fooling around trying to get it to work better I gave up.Seems to me now that even if you got it calibrated so it say would only go off at lowest rpm, if pump did fail at cruise spd the alarm would only sound if you were getting less than idle flow,which would be way less than the flow required to prevent overheat at cruise. In other words you couild easily cook your engine even with this device in good working order.Thats my experience, Ive often wondered if anyone else had better luck.Oh yeah I even tried having a switch to light only so I didnt have to listen to bell when fishing etc,not great success my opinion is one doesnt notice a light on dash soon enough to prevent overheat and you dont always remember to switch it to bell for cruising.
