Our boats do not have flow sensors, but if that was the case, it would have still set an overheat alarm from the temp sensor for low flow. (IMHO)

If that's the case, I stand corrected.

I have a 2000 sundancer 270 with mercruiser 7.4 mpi with bravo III. I was told the overheat alarm would be a solid sound from a sea ray dealer. I had an alarm go off today while on cruise and it was a loud beep. It would beep, maybe 1 or 2 second pause and beep again. I came off cruise and idle for a couple of minutes and the beep went away. Not a solid sound. Any ideals?
Thanks

Hey comsnark--I was at the sea ray dealer and the service department told me it is normal for one elbow to be hotter then the other. He said the reason is because the water gets to one side quicker then the other side. He said one side could feel warm and then the other side feel hot. I have noticed this on my engine. one time the left elbow was hotter and the other time i checked the right elbow was hotter. So that seems to coincide with what the service tech told me.
Keep us posted on the alarm - I am curious. BTW - I read your post on boat us on the manifold issues you had with your old mechanic - All I can say is wow- you must have the patience of a Saint!The service department at sea ray said the port side of engine will always run cooler if everything is normal on a mercruiser. Each time I have checked my engine that is the coolest side on mine. I changed out both the heat sensor and the thermostat, so now I will see what the gauge shows when I take it out again. art
