Boat 1987 Skeeter Starfire 175<br />Motor 1987 V6 175 HP Carb,Oil injection <br />SNB221598<br />The engine is cold. A steady warning buzzer sometimes comes on when ign.sw. is turned on, but sometimes the alarm beeps twice then goes off as normal.<br />I have removed tan/blu wire from temp. sending unit on right side of head & this does not make steady warning buzzer off. Checked tan/blu to ground, and it's not grounded.<br />This buzzer is driving me nuts.<br />Some additional input. The boat was rear ended on water by another boat(yes it came over me) and did $5000 damage to hull & motor. This has been repaired, But now I have this alarm problem.<br />What do I look for next?

Re: Warning alarm sometimes stays on

Your warning buzzer could be bad. This can happen. But if you are turning the ignition key to the on position, without starting the engine, and it is making the warning buzzer go off...it's probably grounded, somewhere.<br /><br /><br />Did you recently get a new wiring harness?
