I have twin 2001 HPDI 200s on 26' CC, and both motors turned over immediately yesterday after no use all winter, and ran fine when I started them in the driveway. When I put the boat in at the ramp this afternoon, the port motor wouldn't start. It sounds an intermittent beeping, and the three oil bars flash, but it won't start, or even turn over...absolutely nothing happens when I turn the key, except for the beeping and the flashing bars. Tried starting from 2nd battery; same result.
Didn't have time to check the whole thing out, so moved it to it's slip using the stbd motor, and headed home. Headed back tomorrow to either:
(a) figure it out, or
(b) pull it and take it to a mechanic.
My understanding is that the three bars flashing reflects an oil xfer problem, but I'm also not getting the motor to turn over, which seems strange. What would prevent the engine from turning over AND create the flashing? I plan to try direct jump start and check the in-line fuse ignition, but not sure where it's located (presuming under console).
Would appreciate input from anyone who has experience w/ this scenario.
Thanks
