Hi Guys,
I was wondering if someone could give me some insight regarding an issue I had this weekend with my Johnson 60hp. After fishing for about an hour (sitting, engine off) I went to go restart the engine to move to a different spot. Usually there is a chirp when I turn the key but this time is was a constant beep even after I started the engine. I drove the boat right back to the dock and it had a constant beep all the way back. The engine was getting oil because i could see the blue smoke and I was able to get full rpms out of the engine. The engine ran great even though it had that constant beep. I took the boat out again yesterday (Sunday) and it ran completely normal with no constant horn. Is there anything I can check or do I have to wait until the horn is constant again? Does this engine have SLOW? The impeller was just replaced at the dealer in spring. The model number is J60TLCUC. I have read that you can test the system in the following way:
Please disconnect all three connectors at the same time, and turn on key.
Overheat connector-
VRO pump connector picture 1230- See the tan wire has 3 or 4 wires
Oil tank connector picture 1232 - See the tan wire- only one
These THREE things make the warning horn sound.
Is the horn still on?
I'm just wondering if there is anything else I should be looking for because the horn isn't constant anymore so I don't think those tests would do anything. I appreciate your help!
