    What are your RPM's at the time the buzzer is going off? Would recommend that you verify the tachometer reading with an "inductive pickup tachometer or timing light".

    You may very well be hitting the rev. limiter.

    well im back with my tail between my legs. the water light flashes as i believe im trimed up to much. lower the trim and it is gone. cant seem to get the boat to lift enough without the alarm going off. maybe 1/4 trim on the gauge?

    Remove the water separating fuel filter, and pour the contents into a glass jar. You'll probably see water separate out to the bottom of the jar- the "water light" is likely signaling you that you have "water in fuel".
