I own a 2002 four winns horizon 200 with the 5.0 volvo NOT fuel injected. every time I exceed 3000 rpms my alarm beginns to kind of chatter is the best way to describe it. Then if I dont slow down it eventually goes to full strong alarm. To stop the sensor I have to slow down stop turn off the engine and wait the after a few minutes I can start and go on as along as I dont crank up again. I aslo noticed that if I am not really pushing fast speed but just begin to hear that alarm sound like its going to come on I lower the trim and it goes away almost like pushing more water through makes go away. The problem is I dont know what to replace, the pump the thermostat, the sensors. The thermostat is just in the middle maybe just over the half mark between 120 and 220 when this happenes. Has anyone else had this problem?

As long as your oil pressure and temp gauge are indicating things are in their normal range, either the oil or temp switch assosciated with the alarm could be faulty.
