Warning sound
I finaly got my boat in the water today and took her for a test drive and she hauled a$$, got on plane real quick and motor ran great, but the entire time the damn warning sound where the key goes was going off, I noticed when I trimed the motor up it would go off for a few seconds then come back on, I checked and the motor was pissing a good stream from the water pump.
Could it be the fact I was using a old plastic gas tank, and maybe the pressure wasn't good enough? sorry for the noob questions. One more thing the throttle linkage is terrible, almost all the way foreward and barely any increse in gas, then it's stiff and you have about one inch and that is where if u push hard it's a major increse. All the way back and had no throttle for reverse, but she shifted in gear just no throttle.

are you using the oil injection or premixing? was it a steady beep or an intermitent? do you have a temp or water pressure gauge?
the other sounds like cable issues, either adjustment or replacing the cables.

I am premixing, and when it went off it was a long steady beep.
The only gauges I have are fuel, rpm, volt and a picture of a boat that looks like it isn't on plane yet. and a hole where my speedometer goes.

sounds like it is the overheat horn, but one of the omc gurus will give you a better opinion. how long did you run it with the horn going off? might want to plan on a water pump and t stats in the future.
on a side note, looks like we're gonna get a blow in the gulf, time to start getting the generators running and pick up the yard furniture.

I ran it for about a hr, but the water pump was working fine, It had a steady stream of water coming out the motor.
Can anyone else think of any reason this would be happening? Ohh and what is a t stat? thermostat?
