Re: mariner 150 overheat alarm
No!!!!<br /><br />The overheat alarm on your engine is measuring metal temps of the head... It does not touch water... It goes through the cylinder cover water jacket and touches the head... It is set to go off at 240F...<br />I just posted a topic about temperatures for a V6 Black Max about a week ago....<br /><br />In regards to Metal head temps, you should see anywhere from 150F-180F at idle to 3000rmps, at WOT you may see up to 215F...<br />Water temps should be around 150-155F at WOT...<br /><br />Did you measure the water temperature while the overheat alarm was going off? Because if not, the head and water temps will drop very quickly once you power down....
