Not yet tried wiggling wires , would the thermostat s be bad can you take them out and run the motor without them ?

Any suggestions
Those two things wouldn't make it get hot would it
What instrument are you using to determine that the motor IS "hot"? What is the exact temperature, in farenheight, of both thermostat covers, when the boat alarms?
Pulled thermast s one looked brand new other looked used 143f on them put in boiling water one opened up around 143 the other was barley opening around 200 + took it out today no alarms ran it pretty hard gps said 72 ,headed back to ramp idled in way past dock and back water peeling luke warm bath water still no alarms no misses or lights . I guess I'm good what you think ?
What does the temperature gauge indicate?
I'm not sure what your asking
What is the operating temperature of the motor currently? You stated before that the motor was "hot".
I don't have a temp gauge just by feel of the water coming out of pee hole . Used it the other day checking things new pump new thermostat one bad other good replaced bad one ran fine no alarms thought I was good to go . Used for tournament yesterday put in idled around 20 min no alarm ran 12 miles at high rpm no alarms stopped fished later ran 5 miles to another spot had to run to run low rpm to idle up in creek alarm off and on .Then when running to dock was hard to get on plane with the same alarms that you posted im at a loss in what to do .?

Explain your procedure when disconnecting the tan and blue wires for a test do you run it down the lake in muffs or ? Boat will run fine like my posts says and then give crazy alarms

You need to know the temperature of the motor, when the alarm goes off. If the motor is Hot, then the alarm IS doing its job.
So what will disconnecting the the tan and blue wires test do and what process do I need to follow this is what Im asking
Please explain post 18 is this with motor running on muffs on lake etc
