I know there are other posts about this, but not one that my ignorant brain could understad...
My key does not beep when I turn it half way, and I have been told that it should. I have a 1987 Champion bass boat with a 1986 Mariner 175 motor. So I am assuming this indicates that my overheat alarm is not working.
Some info. I believe the oil injection system has been turned off and I believe there would also be an alarm for that as well that the original owner disabled, so it may be possible that the overheat alarm is tied to this?
So, if anyone could let me know a few things to look for and possibly where to look I'd truly appreciate it. I've read something about grounding wires to test but I guess I'm such a simpleton that I don't know how to go about doing that :redface:
Thanks for your time, I'm learning a lot working on my boat, and one day hopefully i can return the favor and help someone else in need
