I have a 2000 Maxum 1900 SR2 with a 5.0 L Mercruiser engine and alpha one out drive.
This past weekend, I started getting a randon beep while I was pulling a skier, but it went off right away. The RPM was close to 2800 at the time. It is the same tone I hear when I start the boat.
This happened again 2 more time before I stopped and bought it back to the lift.
When we were cruising slowly, there were no alarms.
The warning beep could have been low oil pressure ( it reads between 30 and 40 psi), Low gear oil, the resivoir was only just below full and I toppit off), or high temp ( the temp gauge read 175).
I checked the oi; and it reads full and is still clear to look at. I've only used the boat about 12 hours this season since I changed the oil in the fall.
I also had a depth alarm go off becasue there is a point on the lake where the water is about 2.5 feet deep and we did dive through there on plane to avoid another boater.
Where do I start?
I cant find and water / oil leaks, and the engine seems to be running well at idle and low speeds.
Please advise.
