What does this warning alarm indicate?

[bobbio42]

Hi to everyone, new to this forum. '88 Bluewater, '88 Merc 70 hp O.B. Finally got our boat out this year, towed my son on the biscuit, everything was fine for about an hour. Then I heard a beeping alarm coming from the shift/throttle console. Checked the oil reservoir, it was 3/4 full. It was peeing just fine. Not knowing what the alarm was I headed back. It stayed on til I got back 20 minutes later. Did notice the fish finder quit working at the same time. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Bob

That means that the magnet on the oil reservoir low oil float has fallen off the only way to repair it is a new tank. You can check the problem by unpluging the 2 blue wires on the bottom of the tank and the beeping should stop.
