    Alarm at idle?? 250 ox66

    Just bought a boat that has a 250 ox66 on it and if it idles for more than 5 minutes or so the alarm under the dash goes off. When I run it at speed it runs perfect.

    I believe the previous owner told me that he had a new water pump put on. How much water pressure should i have at idle with this motor?

    same problem I had with my 225 ox66. Replaced the impeller and problem solved.
