Ive got a 1999 225 Optimax , if i run under 2000 rpm she runs great but aything over that and after about 2 miles the overheat will sound and the light will come on . The boat has the old 4 gauge style , any ideas ? The merc tec has a CDI programme but it wont read on this engine as its to old .

Re: 225 Optimax overheat alarm

The last time I ran the boat when the alarm sounded I immediately went to neutral and felt the water comin outta the telltale and it was good , the weather has been bad the last couple of days so will run it again when it calms down .
