Yes with the alarm wired correct it will sound when you deploy them and the key is in the on position. FYI though the alarm is not continuous. It beeps for a few seconds then it stops.
Also regarding idle with them deployed to clean them. I know the manual may suggest it but when I do it my boat shakes very hard. In fact it shakes so hard I am afraid I am putting too much stress on the deployed sections and my mounts. To clean mine I simply deploy them when I am out over deep water fishing under trolling motor power. I will deploy them for about 10 minutes or so and move around like normal on the trolling motor. This will remove ant mud/grime from the deployed sections. I do this under normal fishing speed. If you deploy them and put the trolling motor on high you will get a lot of vibration just as like you were idling with your big motor.
