Alarm on Bass Tracker

[LionSteve]

We have a 2008 Bass Tracker 175 TXW with a 50 hp When the key is turned on there is an beeping alarm coming from under the dash. The alarm is a Floyd Bell M-80 if that makes any difference. Oil level has been checked. Was wondering if anyone has a manual to say what conditions can cause this alarm to sound?
Thanks in advance from a new guy

Welcome aboard.

What "50 hp"?

Does the alarm go off when the motor is started?

 

[LionSteve]

59 hp Merc. Yes it is on when the engine is on and off. If the key is in the on position the alarm is on.

Moved into the Merc section because the motor makes alarms beep. A motor serial number will help.

 

[LionSteve]

Just FYI, It's not an alarm on the motor. The alarm is located under the dash.

 

[GA_Boater]

Motor alarms are either in the remote control or under the dash.

So does anyone know what conditions can cause the alarm to sound?

 

[Scott Danforth]

have you read the owners manual for the motor?

The reason a serial number is needed.

It has finally slowed down enough I'm able to post the number.

Anyone got an idea?

I would look at a low oil level alarm or a overheat sensor. This is where the service/owners manual is handy.

Oil level is good.
Where is the best place to pick one up a manual?

From the dealer. The manual would also tell you there is a sensor in the oil tank.

Hi
on most modern merc engines of both outboard and inboard, the alarm will sound when ignition is turned on. It should then go off after a few seconds. Does yours stay beeping ?

If it's beeping continuously it could be Possible faulty engine over heat sensor, or low level oil sensor located in the bottom of the oil tank.
