"Help! I have a 5.7 liter Mer
"Help! I have a 5.7 liter Mercruiser w/ Alpha one outdrive in a 1996 24' Maxum. Both were rebuilt in 2006 (or so I was told). They look new. Anyhow, I took the boat out this past weekend and after a short while at around 3000 rpms, the engine alarm sounded. The temp gauge was over 200 degrees. Once I reduced throttle, the temp went down but even at lower rmps, the temp gauge would rapidly fluctuate between 150 and 210 degrees. Any ideas where to start?"
