Good morning to you all.
My wife and I purchased a Sadler 26 (in Sept 23) and only recently has she gone back into the water. The first time since we have owned her.
I've worked my way through a couple of issues with warning lights (Oil pressure and Amp) but I'm facing a problem that I could really do with some advice on.
The engine starts fine, I can see water coming out the back (not vast quantities but enough to suggest it is coming in and circulating). After about 4/5 minutes we start to hear an alarm but it's very quiet (we know the alarm is fine as it activates during the ignition sequence). I can then see that the warning lamp for water temperature has illuminated, albeit not very bright. The engine doesn't seem that hot.
I'm wondering whether this may be an issue with the water temperature sensor but am unsure how to prove or disprove this. The sensor has a single cable connected to one of the 2 terminals (nothing on the other) and from what I can see this does run to the water temperature warning lamp.
