Here?s the problem, when I turn my key my fuel light comes on and the alarm sounds 4 beeps and then there's a pause then it dose it again and will continue with the 4 beeps and a pause until you turn the key to the off position. I haven't experienced any power loss, engine hesitation, and it starts fine. I have looked at my oil tank and it's 99% full. I just had the boat serviced at the beginning of the month and got new filters. This alarm started this Monday and I filled the boat up on Friday. I don't know if the fuel I put in had water in it or if it's an oil issue (sensors). Any advice or help you could give would be great.

Thanks again

I am having the exact same problem on my same motors. It is driving me nuts. Let me know if you get any suggestions. I have changed the Racor filters and that did not help. Thanks!

I too am having the same exact problem. I was guessing that the fuel gauge isn't working properly. If you get a suggestion back please post it.

Thanks

Remove the spin on fuel filter on
the motor, dump it in a container
you can see thru and check for water.
