I've gotten an audible alarm sounding intermittently and cannot find anyone with the golden answer on why it's sounding.
The engine was installed by the previous boat owner. It's a 350 mercruiser Mag. I think a 2006 model. I keep reading and have been told that alarms only sound for 3 reasons. Low oil, low gear lube, or over temp. And unless my temp gauge is broken, none of these seem to be the issue. (and with my hand on the risers, it runs cool).
The alarm sounds with the engine on and/ or engine off with the accessory on. The sound beeps roughly every 3 minutes. The batteries were old in the boat too, so I thought that may be a warning that the power was going, but that too was not the problem after replacing the old batt's with new Excide D31s.
Engine temp at idle is around 100-110. When in running it is low 120-140. Gear lube is full up to the line, and engine oil shows fine on the stick. The boat runs great. It has a new prob and WOT is just about 5000rpm. Any ideas???? Please help.
