Alarm signal on my boat

[Keith Redd]

Ok ran the boat today and kept getting an alarm going off....How in the world do I figure out how to fix this or what is wrong?

I would shut the motor down and start it back up and nothing..Then moments later it would come back on....


Help me

[JJS]

how high on the jackplate are you? What kind of motor is it?

[Yammie]

Sensor going bad
Buddy has his go bad on Mer Optimax 225

225efi mer..........2001 model


Its a long beep, usually 3 before I shut it down.

Wish I had more to tell you guys. But I just dont know...

Ive gotten several different replies as to what it could be....I just dont know..Kinda of scares me...

well if it is a repeated beep it would be one of the two sensors for the oil if it is a steady beep it would be an over heat. and then you have a 4 beep on start up that is the fuel filter sensor it would have water in it. hope it helps if any more ? ask

After what i just went through I would have it checked out.....If and when you find out whats up it might be too late and boom. I didnt get any warning and mine went bye bye..........

Add oil in the VRO!

[Keith Redd]

Four long beeps then it stops...did it again today.....several times...

I know I need to take it to the boat boat before it goes...

[FireBassr]

Four long beeps then off for about two minutes and four beeps again?????

[allisonxb2003]

4 beeps is water in the fuel filter or oil sensor (either oil pump is out or tank on top of motor is low)

[FireBassr]

Yep, just got off the line with Keith, we got him straight.

[Lea]

What was it?

[Deletenow]

My guess would be the oil tank on the motor not being full.....
