I have a 99 Mercury 200 EFI 0G803451 on my 99 Ranger R93. Today I took the boat out. It was only the 2nd time I had it out since I bought. I ran it on plain for about 20 minutes and it was running good. I notice one short "beep" and then went away about 5 minutes later I got several beeps and it went away, then a few minutes later they cam back. I shut it down and look at what I knew to look at (oil levels & good water pressure through my tell tale) I cranked in back up and started running and then the beeps where a continuous intermittent beep ( beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, etc). I shut it down and trolled back to ramp with my trolling motor.
Glancing through the owners manual, I would think it has something to do with the oil injection system. When I got back to garage, the oil reserve tank on motor was maybe 1/4" to 1/2" low. my remote tank was 2/3 full. I didn't check for for water in my filter yet. Does anyone have a suggestion on where I should start looking & testing.
Also quick question. when I first engage my key on I get the audible alarm. Does that mean your oil system is working or does it just mean that it is communicating with it.
While I'm at it, what all alarms (beeps) will it give me and what do they mean? Thanks
