overheating alarm on honda outboard
i have a '98 honda 50 hp 4-stoke outboard and the overheat alarm is
activating. the over heat indicator light is NOT on, oil light is green, oil level is normal. if i turn it off the motor for a while then restart it it's fine but within few mintues the alarm will activate again. i'm guessing it's the overheat sensor working correctly(?). here's the strange part. once the alarm is activated, if i tilt the motor all the way down the alarm goes off immediately, but if i tilt it ever so slightly, up the alarm will go back on. does anyone else have this problem? i'm planning to bring it to the mechanics and have it fixed before i go back out but if anyone knows simple things i should check first please let me know. thanks. |

Louis,
Probably the same problem I am having on a 115HP. I get an engine warning light on the dash as well but as you say the other lights are green on the console. I am taking the engine into the engineer today so will tell you what he comes up with. It's annoying apart from anything else and the turn ignition off and on again solution is not the best is it...
