just a little chestnut of a war story. got my donzi a few years ago. shipped her west from n.h., cleaned and primped her, finally ready to go. not knowing any better (bit of a novice) my boy and I launched in a small local lake...a shallow one at that. tentatively at first, we got bolder and finally went wot...SCREECH...whoa nellie...SCREECH...hershey squirt time. a sound like a million angry weasels. Checked the gauges...too hot...what the? oh, it's some kind of dang alarm! Slow down, let it cool off, then go wot...SCREECH... not again. come to discover milfoil got sucked into my alpha ss causing restriction. now I know not to run this machine in choked water. guess that overheat alarm saved me from roasting my sbc. bit of a shock, tho.
