alarms on 350 mag mpi

sunsetsandtrails

The boat went into shop for bottom paint and other upgrades this Spring after I purchased it . The 3-4 previous times of running the boat there were NO alarms. Upon putting it back in the water last Sunday after running it a couple miles or 15 minutes , the alarms came on . Oil pressure good, temp 175 both engines.  When they came on I throttled down and as boat was settling down in the water the alarms went off. I sat there a few minutes looking at gauges and decided to go on . Before boat got on plane they sounded again.  There was a lot of work and moving around in engine compartment while it was in shop. Although one major change was putting sea cocks and strainers in . I'm thinking if there was a problem with lack of water, the temps would be above 175 ??  There's suppose to be a low water pressure sensor......anyone know where it is located or anything else I should look for ??  1999 330 fiesta vee  Rinker .  Thanks guys .

Did you have drive work done? Check the oil level in the reservoirs, the drives sometimes "burp" and the oil level goes down after work has been done on them.

Yes, we did the service on the outdrives.........they are full , actually too full . Would that cause an alarm. When I go back there, I will isolate which motor.......it never dawned on me to do that .  ROOKIE !! lol.  Thanks aero
