I believe grounding the pink wire that goes to one of the temperature switches on the head will bring in the over temp alarm when the key is on. At least it will on my 99 40hp. the other temp switch is for telling CDI that the motor is warmed up.

yep, ground the engine side of that pink bullet connector not the switch side.
