Follow up question to the boat question...

Its been a few days since I took the boat out on the lake and had the alarm go off. I haven't fooled with the boat until today. Today I checked the oil in the reservoir and everthing there is fine. I turn the key to the on position and the alarm continues to sound. This is before I turn the key further to the crank position on the motor. The fact that I haven't had the motor running in a few days makes me think that this is not an overheating alarm. And the fact that I have plenty of oil in the reservoir, seems to rule out a low oil alarm. Can anyone share what they think may be wrong with this in mind? Thanks!

I think you better get it checked out by somebody that know whats going on and how to check it. Alarms are on there for a reason. Most of the time if something is wrong with the alarm system....the alarm just does not work. In your case it is working but now you have to find whats wrong. Boat motors can be very expensive to fix....don't fool around with it.

G3 has given you a great piece of advise. It could be as simple as a bad connection or it could be that the oil pump is not working or some other serious problem. As G3 has incidcated it is probably time to get it to a Merc. mechanic.
