engine alarm

[richardmarzullo]

2001 2700 7.4 MPI,
high pitched alarm goes on after running for awhile-the engine is fresh water cooled; doesnt overheat temp at 175 degrees, oil pressure good-
any ideas

yeah...check the oil levels in the engine and the drive reservoir.....it's probably the drive reservoir .........

and welcome to the zoo...
I have the same boat except with the 6.2ltr mpi..

Hi,
I have a similar problem. My boats alarm goes off what seems to be randomly. It mainly happens when planning/high speed. All temp, oil levels, pressure and drive leg oil levels are fine.

Do the alarms themselves become faulty and sound for no reason?
How many alarms should i have? - 1998 4.3 1900sr Is it one for oil, one for temp etc or one alarm for all?

thanks

check the connections at the oil sender unit/reservoir/engine temp sender...sounds like one is loose or corroded...
