My engine developed a 8 second continuous alarm when key is turned on instead of the normal 1 second beep.
The problem started after engine went into the low rpm guardian mode after I passed thru a log jam at the lake. I didn’t hear any warning sounds while engine was in guardian mode at the lake. I noticed the 8 second continuous alarm after bringing the boat home and operating engine in a test tank. The 8 second continuous alarm goes on when engine is hot or cold and engine seems to run ok in test tank . What could cause the continuous 8 second alarm? Listed below are the
trouble shooting steps that I have performed to date:

water flow is good ,engine is not over heating
replaced engine temperature sensor, did not stop 8 second continuous alarm
fuel flow out of fuel filter is good, mechanical fuel pump pressure is 6 psi, electrical fuel pump pressure is 40 psi
batteries are fully charged, oil level is good.
wiring connections are tight
i have not checked engine oil pressure or manifold air pressure sensor yet.
engine seems to run fine in test tank at home but I have not taken boat back to lake to test engine under load.

any suggestions on what to check next will be greatly appreciated.
