Hey, I'm looking for some insight into what is causing a continuous beep beep beep in my motor. I talked to a Marina in the area of where we were stranded and he suggested that I pull the cover and disconnect the two wires under the auto(light blue) oilier and if the beep stops, to add 1 pint of oil to 6 gals. of gas and head on back to the dock. I disconnected the two wires and the beep stopped so I did the oil in gas trick and got back home. Water is coming out of the tail tail opening and I was able to place my hand on the engine block when we got back home. The water coming out of the engine is only luke warm. I don't understand why the beeping was still happening after the engine had been off for sufficient time for the engine to cool complete down (if that had been the problem) and before the engine was started. Just sitting with ignition switch on but the motor not running it was still beeping until I disconnected the two light blue wires. Also noticed a brown wire that was disconnected down under the two blue wires. What is it? I think it had a light blue strip on it. Don't have more info on the engine. Boat is a 18ft. bass tracker, 1994 model. Replaced impeller last year. Thanks for any help you can offer.
That and a few other related incidents are what made me think of premixing the oil/gas and installing a pair of temp gauges. <br /><br />I won't miss that insecure feeling of hoping the engines are getting oil and not running too hot one bit.
