Hi Fellas,
Here is the story. Was out in the boat fishing and the engine shut off. We found it to be a faulty ignition switch.
At the same time the mechanic noticed that my boat didn't buzz when you turn the key to the on position. So he replaced the horn as well with the OEM horn which also goes off if the engine is overheating. This horn hasn't been working for years, because I don't remember the last time it beeped before I'd start the boat.
On our way back out fishing after a few minutes of half throttle the buzzer went off as if the engine were overheating. Engine ran fine but at cruising speed the buzzer would go on and only if I idled for a few minutes would it stop.
So now I'm stumped, is my engine really overheating or is the sensor telling the buzzer incorrect info?
My water pump and thermostats were replaced about a year ago and the engine spits out water just fine.
The mechanic mentioned a poppet valve maybe being the issue, what can I check?
Really appreciate the help!
