Re: Exhaust Temperature Alarm
Don't you have temperature alarms on the engine? (or should you?)

Re: Exhaust Temperature Alarm
I do agree that the two specs are confusing unless there is some explanation in their install manual...

Re: Exhaust Temperature Alarm
I was thinking with a 90 degree f outdoor temp, and two engines at cruising speed, I would think it could easily hit 165 f in the engine room. Unless your exhaust temp sensor is immersed in the exhaust flow, you could read an alarm when actually nothing is wrong.
On the other side of the coin, with a higher temp alarm, again on the outside of the hose (remember the hose has some insulating qualities) I would strongly believe your motors would show overheat long before the sensor shows an alarm.
I guess I am saying, if the sensor isn't immersed in the exhaust flow, the information it provides has minimal value at best. IMHO.
