    Evinrude 40hp Water Temp alarm

    no reason to "alarm" one woud say ... maybe bad sensor or localized hot spot. you should be able to test the sensor itself with gradually hot water and a thermostat while checking the ohms resistance change in value compared to specs if OK suspect the display/alarm logic .
