    Mercruiser 5.0 Won’t Reach Operating Temp

    Mercruiser 5.0 Won’t Reach Operating Temp

    Boat alarm staying on after cranking motor

    Doesn’t sound like the correct temperature sensor was disconnected/tested if it had the boot as that one should had been the temp gauge… The sensor on the T/housing with 2 wires (Yellow & Black) would be part of the warning horn system.
