Maiden voyage...22Zx 496 HO.. Alarm

[LuauLounge]

Started at 6:00 a.m., replaced the seawater impeller, I was gunshy because a friend of mine burnt up his engine.... It was in fine shape, oh well, I love standing on my head. Spend 2 hours getting the pump out and 1 hour replacing the impeller, remount the pump and ready to go. Drop it in the water, fire it up, all is well until I try to run over 3300 rpm... Alarm sounds, back off to idle, alarm goes away. It runs fine under 3100, alarms over. Will go the dealer on Monday.

What did the temperature go up to?

[LuauLounge]

It was 180 the same at lower rpm

[BUIZILLA]

drive oil level?

equal water exiting from both sides?

[MOP]

So the temperature may not have anything to do with the alarm going off, there are so many things on these new ones that will set off the alarm.

I fired at the house using a big tub. It looks like an Imco lower. It sucked well and blew water out of both transom exhausts. Lots of water out below the original exhaust. It has a Corsa CC, looks like one solenoid is bad, but both open to transom.

All fluids are ok..

Take to dealer and have it scanned...can be many reasons alarm is going off..that way you will know for sure and fix the issue right away...good luck...:):)

Pulled the boat on the trailer and noticed that the water intakes were plugged with weeds. Enough water below 3000 rpm, not enough over. Pulled weeds out, ran like a Donzi. Plugged them again, but knew the drill
Thanks
