Overheating indicator for Ski Twin 33

quote FrankR:

I agree 100%. It only takes a few seconds to cook an engine if in case of total and sudden pump failure. I’d be much more likely to be checking the bikini in the passing boat than looking at some stupid idiot light.

Bikini?! Where?

These latest responses re: the actual vs perceived benefit of an overheat indicator has given me another, totally different, idea for putting the indicator light to use. Rather than go through the hassle and expense of installing a sensor only to hope that it gives ample warning that I hope I’ll notice when it comes on, I think I’ll use the indicator light to show that my bilge pump is on. 😉

Time to start a new thread re: removing the flywheel.
Thank you one and all.

Well sure, that’s the way the factory has been doing it for years now. (instead of)

Good idea if it were used for overheating, Dan, but I’m not so sure I want the horn to be blasting when my bilge pump is pumping. 😆
