Hi group,
I have a 2001 Mercury 2 stroke 225 hp motor that started beeping on me again. Historically it has had a 3 beep problem, always oil related but now i get a sequence of 4 beeps. Any idea what this could be?
Cheers,
Brandon

Once that's available, pointers appropriate to a specific engine's electronics can be provided.
In general, a 4-beep warning is a "non-critical" warning (there's a problem that needs to be addressed as soon as you can safely return to port).

I recently had '6-beeps' when turning the key to 'on' but no alarms or beeps when running. Took boat to dealer, hooked to diagnostic laptop and found that 6-beeps on my particular 2015 Pro XS 200 ( ser 2B115304 ) is a MAP sensor ( Manifold Air Pressure ) that wasn't happy. I had a few intermittent issues when fishing at 22 degrees ( Yes, I know that's cold even here in Alabama )...but no repeat issues even without any parts changes.

There are TWO warnings (ONLY):
SOLID TONE: Critical Fault (engine needs to shut down as soon as safely possible)
Four Beeps, Pause, Four Beeps...: Non-critical Fault (return engine to port and have engine serviced by dealer).
On newer engines- the horn sequence will NOT continue (it ceases after approximately 6 seconds).
Earlier model engines used the same horn sequences... but they may have continued to sound.
So... we can't say "x number of beeps means this is wrong"....
Follow this advice: WARNING HORN "BEEPED"
