High temp alarm sounding at 175 d

I have a 2008 4.3 ltr tks that runs around 170 degrees pretty consistently ...no problem. However, at times (at high rpm or under load) it will hit 175-180d Soon as this happens the high temp alarm beeps and will not stop until I stop the boat and rev in neutral to bring temp down.
I have checked manifold temp with heat sensing gun and it matches my gauge. Is there an adjustment on the alarm to make it sound at a higher temp. If not how do I fix?

...this brings up a second question. The engine diesels when turning it off with any gas under 91 octane. Does this indicate wrong timing or do these engines require 91 octane?
