1995 150 Ocean Pro. Do different symtoms cause differnt alarm sounds? Does overheat sound the same as fuel flow resrtiction and low oil? Thanks.

Fuel restriction and overheat will be a solid alarm. Low oil will be intermittant...

(VRO Horn Warnings)
(J. Reeves)

1 - A steady constant beep = Overheating - The V/6 engines, possibly some others, have a fuel restriction warning which is also a steady constant beep.
2 - A beep every 20 or 40 seconds = oil level has dropped to 1/4 tank. (Late model engine = Every 40 seconds)
3 - A beep every other second = VRO failure, air leak in oil line, oil restriction, (anything that would result in a lack of oil being supplied to the engine).
