Default Gauges and readings

Hi everyone, just replaced my thermostat 142 temp sender as well as alarm switch on 2400 scr. Been idling for about 15 minutes and here is the readings. Do they look ok ?

Idling at the dock triggered co alarms in cabin but that all

Many thanks.

Mine reads 175F was well but I have a 160F thermostat. Use an IR temp sensor and see what temp you get of the thermostat housing, it should be close to the thermostat you are using. My housing reads about 157F.

Other than the wood grain it looks just like my 2400.

CO alarm may be due to the fact that you are idling with your outdrive in the trailer position....

Trim position sender doesn't work. Outdrive was in down position. On idling expected to have visible fumes ?

CO is know as the silent killer because there are no human detectable fumes.

Fumes:
Marine mechanic inspected the fumes and the smell, turned out to be carburettor mixture was completely out. Running way too rich. He did his magic and tuned it and no more fumes or smoke.

Glad it was a simple fix.
