Alarm on 496HO'S
Ok,
So I put the boat in Sat.
Started it and get an alrm about every 3 to 4 minutes. All gauges show good. All fluids are new and show good on sticks. Outdrive bottles full. New water seperators, new impellors, motors only have 51 hours.
Took it out and if I get on it the alarm goes on steady until I back off then only goes on every 3 minutes for a couple of seconds. All gauges show good even when I'm on it.
Any sugestions?

A soft alarm that turns into a hard alarm (but doesn't show on the gauge) is most likely an exhaust manifold overtemp. If you have an infrared temp gun you should check manifold and elbow temps.
