just bought a 03 larson 210 sei with 5.0 volvo first 7-8 times out boat ran perfect till tonight. We tubed all day sat @ sandbar for awhile and tubed in to boat ramp. When we idled into the marina boat started beeping non stop. Gauges read fine no lights flashing just beeping. Tried to get boat back on plane and it just flutterd out . Any ideas . Thanks Korey

Use caution beaching or stopping at sand bars. Very easy to suck up sand and or rocks. This can damage your impeller and cause an overheat issue. In your post you stated you left the sand bar and tubed to marina. To me it sounds like overheat. Sometimes your impeller can pass a stone that blocks your thermostat from opening. If you put the boat on ear muffs and the water spurts out of the drive without sucking into your engine, impeller needs changing.

It could also mean low oil or drive lube. Some people change their impeller every year. I just changed mine after 3.
