1991 120hp Force temperature sensor

[Phil Lemoine]

hey all, just wondering if anyone knows what happens when you overheat this motor. i havent yet but i see it has a overheating sensor and i traced the wire back to the dash but it seem to lead to my nav lights. just wondering what happens if it overheats? does the engine go in to a "limp home mode" or is there a light on the dash that im not seeing?

thanks

Wire should be connect to a warning buzzer.

There is no limp home mode.

If you overheat and ignore it, the motor seizes.
