[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 476365, member: 12995"] The alarm might have been the overheat warning. If you had enough blockage in the grate, maybe there was not enough water pumping through to cool the motor. You should be able to get under the motor and shine a flashlight up inside the intake grate and see the impeller to look for any obvious damage to the leading edges of the impeller. The overheat alarm module went bad on my Mercury so I unplugged it and watch the telltale to make sure water is pumping through whenever I start up the motor. Personally, I have never driven a boat onto a trailer in 30 years of boating. I always load it by hand which usually means walking into the water (even in Feb with the water 34 degrees). My uncle used to clamp a 4x4 onto the main trailer beam to give him something to walk down, I've never gotten around to doing that. [/QUOTE]
