I just got a used 1993 VIP Deckliner (22 ft.) with an outboard Mercury 150hp engine. The engine is newer than the boat but I'm not sure what year.<br /><br />We took it out today for the first time since rebuilding it and fixing it up and it ran great for about an hour. Then we pulled into a little cove and shut off the engine for a while and enjoyed some sunshine. When I went to turn the engine back on, it sounded three high-pitched beeps and nothing else. It would not even try to turn over. <br /><br />It is a brand new battery and the engine was just tested at the shop. When I started it the first time, it gave no problems at all. Any suggestions as to what I can do to alleviate this problem? And if it happens next time I'm out on the water, is there anythin I can do to get the engine started to get the boat back to the ramp?<br /><br />Thanks for any help.
