Hello All, Does the engine bilge high water alarm tie into dashboard buzzer that my High water temp and Low oil pressure alarm buzz? Looking for opinions or fix before I cut, crimp and shrink tube in a new buzzer. I would like to restore original alarm but cant find any information on it. Thanks |

I had a high water alarm on my 2003 248 Vista. It was linked to a panel on the dash and only operational of you subscribed to a monitoring service. I believe the name of the service was Sea Key. I can't swear to it but I thought that was a bit shady. I thought it would be possible to convert it to an audible warning but I never got around to it. |

My 2007 278 has one and I believe it is tied to an alarm behind the dash panel. Been a while since I played with it. I know there are 2 alarm buzzers behind there but I never set it off when I had the panel down to see which one was being setoff by what. Sorry not much help. |

OK thanks. I have read that if you subscribe to SeaKey on 2005 or newer boat you can get a text for any alarms, temps etc. I think the plan is going to be to wire the float to a separate buzzer. |

My Crownline has a special bilge alarm panel. I'll have to dig through some pictures to get a model since my boat is tucked away for winter storage. Found it: Marine Technologies SA-1000XL High Bilge Water Alarm. |

Great thread. I also couldn't figure out why the alarm didn't work, nor where it might be. Now I know. Food for thought... Is it better to have an alarm on the second float, or a big ass bilge pump? I'm thinking of installing a second and larger pump. |

Yes, the 2nd pump should be larger and connected to your 2nd battery. Also always in the "auto mode" and installed a litter bit higher that the first pump. Its cheap insurance. |

Thanks for the information 97_245_sd I printed the user manual page and hopefully I will do something this year towards a alarm. The float switch is good. There's 3 volts to it, odd. I like the idea of a small bilge alarm panel I could mount on the dash, thanks |
