My flats boat has a newer, 90 or so hours, Honda 50hp outboard. Well today, after it sitting for about 3 or so months, I turn her on to make sure everything is working properly before my fishing trip this weekend.
Well I get a beeping, and thought it was the oil pressure/oil level. Checked, double checked, and everything with the oil, including levels were fine. Then I found this site and read about the tilt sensor causing the alarm to beep for many owners. I went back out and started her up, put the tilt all the way down and the beeping stopped. Only problem is that it beeps unless I have the tilt almost all the way down, and I mean darn near all the way. Can someone please offer some advise on what I should/can do to solve this problem?
How can I change out the sensor (links/instructions please)
Can I simply disengage the sensor so that I can do some fishing this weekend and then simply repair/replace it at a later date (again, links/instructions please)?
Any ideas/suggestions/concerns please post.
Thanks in advance,
LeoSS
