Constant alarm tone, or pulsed? The solid tone is temp, the pulsed tone is oil injection.

White smoke could be oil smoke, or it could be steam...

It could be as simple as picking up a plastic bag on the lower unit that blocked the water intakes. When you stopped, the bag washed off and the engine was able to cool down. Or it could be something completely different. I'm just indulging in wild speculation. If it was the oil alarm, I don't have a guess.
