For old school has anyone used or looked into alarms be Borel engeneering?
I have the exhaust temp alarms also. Simple install. I put them on about 4 years ago when I replaced my old exhaust hoses from the mixer. I had the starboard side throw an alarm a couple of years ago while idling in a no wake zone. I shut down and was on my way into the engine room when my wife called out that a plastic bag had just floated out from under the boat. I assumed that was it because everything was fine after that. The engine temp never moved on the gauge and the 200 degree alarm switches that I have installed in the coolant passages of the exhaust manifolds didn't trigger, so now I consider the Borels to be the "early warning system". Wouldn't be without them.
