Howdy. My buddy took my '97 Tracker Deep-V 17;' out today and experienced a loud, constant beeping -- not from the motor but from the steering wheel area.
Motor is a '01 Mercury 90horse, just got back from tune up--but again the motor isn't alarming. It's the boat.
For background, he took it out yesterday and...no problems.
The boat is well-sealed, the back middle drain hole plugged and the boat wasn't sinking, so it seems he wasn't taking on water. However, the alarm did stop when he raised the motor trim so the prop was almost out of the water, which raised the bow. It also stopped when he ran the boat at a steady slow speed with high trim.
Any clue what's happening? Bilge problem? Something else? Much appreciated...
