Just this year I have had a problem with my warning horn(the one attached to the ignition switch) beeping when I hit a wave hard. Does not do it on flat water. Did not do it at the end of last year. Any thoughts would be deeply appreciated.
The beep is just a quick beep when you hit a wave hard like crossing a wake. Small waves do not cause this issue.
Thanks

Could it be the low oil beeper?, if you're still using oil injection.

Yes it could be the low oil beeper but the primary and secondary tanks are nearly full and it only happens when hitting a wave hard and only for that instant.

The float in the oil tank on motor is jarring. Bleed tank of all excess air.
