Just last weekend my newly purchased 22v started aciting up. After about an hour of riding around it beeped twice and a little bit later just died. I turned the key off and it started right up. The voltage looked to be at 12 or lower. I know the EFI needs 12 volts to run. I replaced the alt and the same thing happed. PLEASE I need help. I love the boat but I'm about to pull my hair out!!!

You'll need to take it to an authorized Mercruiser dealer to have them read the codes. Mine did this, but kept going. It turned out to be a bad fuel pressure regulator. Eventually it would have stopped altogether. If you have gas with ethanol in it, it makes this part go bad more quickly.
Without the codes, you'll be guessing.Cursed by a fortune cookie: "Your principles mean more to you than any money or success."

I put a brand new alternator on it, checked both batteries. I took it out this weekend and crossed my fingers. No luck though. It ran fine for about an hour. Then started messing up again. Same problem, only this time I went to pull my kids on a tube and starting off it sounded like it was only running on 4 cylinders. It was cutting out real bad. Long story short I left it at the dealers when we got off the lake!

Sounds like you have a fuel issue going on with the fuel system. Your charging systems should be putting out 13.5V or better thought to maintain that battery.www.automarinecare.com CWB, ACME, FlyHigh, Merc Marine, PCM, Marine-power, WETSOUNDS, HSE Volume Controls, Kicker, Sony, Samson Sports, and many other marine parts or accessory's.
