2001 250 EFI continuous alarm..help please.

[phaster]

Hi,

So I went to start my motor and get the initial beep whehn I flick on the ignition only now I also get a non-stop, continuous beep as well. It starts as soon as I switch the ignition to on (even if the motor is not running). From what I have read this is temperature warning but I am not sure how to trouble shoot this? Where is (are) the temp sensors? How can I trouble shoot this?

Thanks in advance!

Might also be water in the fuel. Check the fuel filter on the motor. Theres a water sensor on the botttom of the filter. Sounds like it may be the problem. Before changing the filter remove the sensor wire on the filter and see if it stops the alarm. To drain water from the filter w/o removing it, un screw the plastic sensor from the filter bottom. This will drain the water.... Keep an extra filter in the boat, saves a lot of grief with the crappy fuel we have now.

Thanks for the reply Xstream...I disconnected the wire under the filter and no dice...it still keep alarming continuously. Any other ideas?

Overheat sensor malfunction? Overheat sensor in each head. Disconnect one at a time.

Where exactly are those sensors? I am not sure where they are? What do they look like?

Thanks again!
