Boat is new to us this spring. We are wrapping up a weeks vacation, using the boat several times a day. Seems I learn something new each day. There has been an odd beeping sound. Very soft. Very intermittent. No pattern. We have an Evinrude VRO. I was thinking the beeping was the alarm hooked to oil injection, possibly going off in error (figure it would alarm steady if there was a issue).

Today though I heard it when we were stopped. Motor off!:eek: What the heck? Finally figured out is was the alarm linked to the fish finder letting us know when there were fish below the boat ( not the depth alarm).:facepalm:

We all had a good laugh at my mysterious "mechanical" problem.

Turning the battery switch to off sounds like it needs to be on your agenda...

Hmmm.

Good idea. Will see if I can find that switch today. It is not on the dash.

Does turning off all electronics accomplish the same? Small boat - nav lights, pump, radio & fish finder.
