Sensor is bad.

That's what ticks me off about motor alarm systems. You'd think for what they charge for 'em, you'd get a print out of exactly what's wrong along with detailed instructions and a parts list plus an email delivered to your inbox.

I didn't open the cowling and hose it off and forgot to shoot some high pressure water inside the console. Maybe that's what did it. Gonna do that tomorrow night

Will my motor have a themostat? Merc 125

Good luck DD hope you get it worked out.

Dude! Now that is a story

**DonDon** · 07-11-2011, 09:43 AM

Now you see why I popped open a beer at 8 something

Yes, it will have a thermostat. But that's not your problem.

DD, check the oil tank under the cowling. If your main tank got low and sucked air, it may not be refilling the reserve oil tank in which case the sensor will continue to beep. You will have to disconnect the oil line and re prime it if that happened.

You do have a thermostat, but you're right about the beeper going off after 2 hrs. It should have stopped after that and restarted when it got to hot again.

Thanks for the help. I'll try that tomorrow night when I get off work. HOW do you reprime it?

Dang Bro, pretty sucky luck you're having.
