    Mercury Alarms

    Hi, I'm a 67 years old retired factory worker. All those years, did a number on my hearing and I can just barely hear the beeps anymore., I'm afraid that, I could blow my motor. Does anyone know where I can get some info on how to install waring lights on my console?
    Any info would be great! Thanks, Tommy

    Well, i went fishing yesterday. Had a great day going, caught a 4-3 largemouth on my 5th cast on a buzzbait! Motor ran great! however, that dam alarm started going
    off again. I can hear it just fine now, the light did not come on. The alarm is beep -beep -beep non stop ! I know what the oil alarm sounds like and i know what overheat sounds like, it is not that alarm. I don`t know what the water in fuel sounds like, could this be that?.
    I`m going to ron the motor on the muffs today and see if it comes on, if it does i will unplug the sensor on the water separator to see if it stops beeping, and i will check for water.
    My engine SN is )G607556.
    Thanks, Tommy

    Wired up the LED light yesterday, not too bad of a job, if you are good at standing on your head. LOL. When I took the horn out , I noticed what looked like a "mud dobber" built a nest in the horn. After cleaning the horn out, it is at least ten times louder.

    Ran on the muffs at different RPM`s no alarms. Check for water in the fuel filter , no water.
    I unhooked the sensor on the fuel filter, no alarms. Going fishing tomorrow, I guess i will see what happens.
    So far I cannot find anyone who knows what the alarm is for.

    Pretty sure the serial number is 0G607556, the other half of the zero is probably faded or missing.

    Thanks Joe.
    Today went fishing, never ran the boat on plane, we idled around from spot to spot, no alarms. About six hours into the day, alarm started going off. At first, you would hear one beep then, 10 seconds later, beep-beep-beep until I shut the motor off. Wait a few minutes, start the motor, run a few minutes and do it again. The motor was smoking, so I know it is getting oil. I have good water pressure also.
    I took the lid off my oil tank, (the one in the boat) let the pressure out. the alarm never came on the rest of the day.
    What is up with that?
    This alarm is freaking me out!
    Thanks for any help you can give me.
    Thanks, Tommy

    dont assume smoke means no oil injection problem , is oil tank on engine full to top , relieving press on boat tank should not have anything to do with eliminating warning horn , may have module or motion sensor going out

    Oil tank is half full. (tank in boat) I know it does not make any sense, but after take the tank cap off it ran the rest of the day with no alarms.. How can I trouble shoot module and motion senser ?
    I don`t want to blow this motor up.

    first of all if your system is not alarming youll not find problem , do you have a manual for your engine ???? there are detailed steps in it to test system
