Alarm system for marine drive

摘要

In a marine drive having a wiring harness (14) connected between the engine (2) and the helm (8), an alarm sensing module (26) is connected to the harness (14) and provides a warning of one or more abnormal engine conditions, without altering the existing wiring harness or adding wires thereto. A temperature switch (30) and an oil pressure switch (32) are provided at the engine, and the sensing module (26) is connected to the engine temperature gauge (10) and engine oil pressure gauge (12) at the helm. The module activates an alarm (28) in response to high engine temperature or low engine oil pressure.
