test overheat alarm

[my1stboat1]

How do you test to see if the over heat alarm is working on your 85 hp force outboard...


I bought a new buzzer but want to make sure it actually works

You need to look at/find the overheat sensor on the cylinder head, remove the wire, ground it to say the engine block or what have you, and with the ignition energized the buzzer/horn etc. should sound. Hope this makes sense...

Piece of wire.Ground it on a bare piece of metal.Key on.Touch the ORANGE lead on the terminal with the other end of the wire.It should activate the buzzer.
