    Warning Buzzer

    I had a problem. My boat runs fine. All the oil levels are good. But ever now and then when I back off the throttle the warning buzzer comes on. When I put it in neutral and turn it off then restart it. Its fine. All the gauges read fine and I dont know what to check. Any suggestions

    Check you battery connections. I had a similar issue with the warning buzzer that freaked me out thinking it was something big, and discovered a loose connection to the battery. Problem solved.

      What engine do you have? If Marine Power, could be improper oil level due to dip stick tube length (recalled, but I think it only applied to the V-drives). Higher oil levels cause foaming and that will cause a false reading and set off buzzer.

            I second the power/ground issue, I had the problem with the same engine you have, one of my ground cable clamp on terminals was loose at the battery, causing the problem. I've heard the loose wire could be at the back of the ignition switch in the dash as well.

              I thought it was recalled for all MP engines for 2006/7.

                It was my understanding that a batch of V-drives got engines intended for DD's. Due to the difference in driveline angle between a V and a DD, the dipstick reads low with the proper amount in the crankcase. Due to this, the engine gets over filled inorder to get the oil level to show "full" on the stick.
