UPDATE....mechanic said problem is the small oil reservoir on the side of the motor....not my main tank in the boat....he knew right off what it was...shouldn't be a big deal....I expressed my concern about running while it was beeping....he said it will be OK....said the motor has built in devises that will shut the motor down before any damage is done...so, I learned something that is good to know....picking it up at 1:30 today....the real question is, when am I going fishing again....tomorrow???....we will see.....in the meantime, it is a good time to go give the truck a full service wash while I am not hooked up....it stays hooked up to boat about 99% of the time.....
