Alarm Sounding

[Bidwell]

I recently bought my first Tige, a 2005 22V Limited with 340 hp motor, with 89 hours. I put the boat in the water for the first time, the low oil pressure light & alarm came on when I turned the key on but went off immediately after the engine started. The oil pressure is 60, the engine temperature was 175 but when the boats speed reached 30 mph an alarm sounds with no light on dash. I can turn off the engine and the alarm is off until I reach the same speed again. Any ideas on the source of the alarm or what it might be indicating. I store the boat on a lake in central Kentucky and do not have a close Tige dealer. Thanks for the help

check the v-drive and trans oil.

Make sure the oil level is full and not not overfull also. Next check the Knock sensor(s) connector to make sure they are on. I believe, on that year engine, the knock sensor is part of the block drain and needs to be unplugged to drain for winterization.

If you are facing the stern the knock sensor should be on the lower left side of the block. It looks like a large plug and should have a wire connected to it. If the wire isn't connected...(A guy I know know may have done this once) It should be dangling nearby. Hook it up and you should be good to go! Either way, if the wire isn't connected you will get the alarm as long as the engine is running.
