So my 270 2007 slx with 496 engine overheat alarm is going off. But my running temp after a cruise at 3000 rpm’s is about 174 degrees. I turn the boat off and turn it back on and it “resets” the smart craft and I can get to my destination without any more alarms. I have already changed the temp...

getting lost engine com error. Then I smelled burning. Found out this part has a short of some sort. Right behind the steering wheel. Apparently the harness hooks up to the junction box of smartcraft. Anyone know what this is? So I can order a new one. Are they know to short out?
