    6 long beeps

    Just got home with my new 4 stroke from dealer. Turned key to check gas level because I'm planning to work on break in tomorrow. And I got 6 long beeps after key turn. Smart craft is flashing alarm in upper right left corner. Can anyone clue me in to problem?

    Guilty!!!
    At least these have an alarm to let you know.
    Back in the old days they would turn over but not start. Have seen a battery ran down a time or two.

    Glad it was that simple. There will be an "Emergency Stop" fault in the PCM History next time it's checked.

    Congrats on your new Merc! If you would, please take a moment to review the Announcements at the top of the Forum, and be sure to provide the Required Info (serial number) when posting. Thanks!
