Ya hoo! Finally my hopes to fixing a uses broken down boat that I bought last summer has a happy ending.

This DF70 has been a pain in the butt since day one. I had to rebuild lower unit, I replaced all bearing and seals no gears thank god, got that fixed then of course the single beep every seven seconds that no one ever encounterd or had a run in with . All things were checked and considered from battery to engine sensors. Still no fix, even dropped some $$$$ on injectors and still nothing, boy what a dummy I was.

Last but not least all of you that responded in some way helped me out BIG TIME including Dave from IBoats, the conclusion to the repair was to replace the ECM. The motor ran wonderful out there in the Rio Grand River, it was a great day for me.

Thanks again Dave, and every one else. This forum helped me go through many checks and services to fix things that needed attention, now I can be more confident out on the water with this new used toy.

The previous owner oviously did little to no maintenance, thats why I named this vessal Little Miss Treated.

Replace computer for Single Beep Every Seven Seconds. Great working with you Dave!
