Hello,
I need your help, and I can not understand the cause of the malfunction.
I have a Mercury 90hp 3cyl two strokes, the alarm rings continue after 5 minutes in normal progress. The mechanical changed the new water pump (impeller) new thermostat, new temperature sensor.
Any of the sensors were changed as we thought it might be defective, but it continued, we reinstalled the new sensors. We've been in the sea without thermostat and without temperature sensor, the whistle continues.
I do not know what to do, thank you for help, please.

The motor does not enter safe mode. Always has power.

Sorry my bad inglish, google translator.

Hi Algarve, are you sure there is no problem with the two stroke oil mixture.
I have heard that there can be problems with the automatic mixer. If you disconnect the mixer, and empty the oil tank and use petrol already mixed. But I am not a mechanic so check with someone you trust before following my idea

Thanks for the answer. The flow of water is constant and cold, new impeller.
Oil tank is full and it is new, if it were oil, the alarm was intermittent.
 
Hello, I'm portuguese and I'm close to Faro/Quarteira.

Boa noite from Bruces Yard Quinta de Progresso :) Looking at all the hundreds of small boats in Faro Doca de Recreieo with this engine there must be local mechanics that can assist you.
Graham M will be along in a bit. He's been here 10 years + so might know who to contact.
 
If it's a continuous unhappy beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep and it's not an early model, then it's a problem with overheating or the overheat circuit.

If you have replaced the sensor, the cylinder jacket is okay to touch and there is plenty of water coming out of the tell tale, then either the electronic module at the other end has failed, or the wiring from the sensor to the module is damaged.
 
I have heard that on the earlier carb versions there is a mismatch of metals on the power head to leg that can cause corrosion and blockage. Check you have sufficient water flow and the engine temp with a infra red temp sensor
