This pontoon was a gift (hmmm). Anyway finally got motor running but now alarm goes off when it runs a few minutes. but, then it will crank right back up and not beep, so i don't think it's running hot. what else makes beeping alarm to sound?

All we know is that you have a 90 HP Johnson. It was made in a specific year so that would be handy to know. We also have no idea what the beeping sound is and that is important since there are several tones associated with the alarm system. So 1) what year engine, 2) has the oil injection system been removed and/or disabled 3) what does this beeping sound like a: constant beep, b) beep-beep-beep at regular intervals, or a c) a beep every 20 seconds or so. If its a constant beep that's an overheat situation. Beeping that is on-off-on-off, etc., are oil related alrams.
