2001 200 HPDI precision oil blend

My Merc 175 EFI was so prone to false alarms that I too thought of cutting the purple wire. I actually hoped it would fail so I would have had an excuse to buy a Yam. It never failed but it was false alarm after false alarm.

Oh, but it was loud. And thirsty.

Oh, there's no problem hearing it. LOL After a mile or 2 of reduced power, turning it down would be nice. LOL
But while we're on the subject of alarms, I was very close to blowing my motor because of water in the oil. This was in the remote tank. And as far as I know there is no alarm for that. The small tank on the engine does have a trap for it but the remote tank?
Think I'll be re-rigging this tank in a drier spot. ))

Maybe drain and clean the tanks every so often too.

It is not wise to keep running a motor in the RPM reduction mode,
It still runs so you can get out of harms way, but shut it down as soon as you can and fix the problem or at least let it cool off if it was over heat that brought it in
