Engine Alarm

[huntingwiley]

Yesterday evening I started getting an alarm. I get 2 beeps. While idling the boat runs very rough and will cut off. If I get it above idle it will saty running bit I still get the double beep every few minutes. Does anyone know where to start looking?

It is a Merc 350 MAG Mpi.

Thanks

Tried cleaning the Idle Air Control valve. The boat runs fine over 1k rPM but will not idle. It runs very rough at idle for 30 sec to a minute the cuts off. You can hear the fule pump tring to pump at idle. Above 1k rpms everything seems fine.

Not sure if it is the inline fule filter, Fule pump or the IAC vavle.

Anyone have any experience with this type of issue?

Just an FYI incaes anyone else has this issue. The problem was a bad Idle air control valve. I had tried cleaning it but them talked to a mechanic and they said that rarely works. Replaced and all is good!

Be safe this weekend!

Thanks for posting. Good to know if that problem ever arises on my boat!
