    VesselView Link Non-Critical Thermostat Alarm

    I've gotten this last two times out - recently replaced my water pump.

    I can't bring this up in the fault history? Manual says I should be able to.

    I was getting that after I raised my motor a 1/2" on the jack plate. Lowered the motor back down and it hasn't come back since. I did check my thermostats and they were fine. With you just replacing the water pump, I'd be checking your water pressure to make sure it's still good - did you do anything with the thermostats?

    Nothing with the t-stats and thought I did a clean replacement on the pump. Will remove the stats and clean. Also need to clean the compressor strainer.

    I wouldn't accelerate beyond 1500 RPM's if you get that fault, until the problem is corrected.

    Found and fixed. Stevie Wonder (or I) could have seen this, chunk of wood lodged in the starboard thermostat. I opened everything up, poppet valve, strainer and flushed with a hose. Cleaned the stats which looked fine. Took about two hours not rushing to disassemble and reassemble.
