Hello.
I am having an intermittent problem where I start the engine to troll and the alarm will come on constant and not stop. If I play with the up/down motor switch on the handle, it seems to affect it. There is oil in the reserve and everything else seems ok. It is a 1992 Mercury 40HP outboard that I bought about a year ago. I am wondering if anyone has suggestions where to look for the problem. If I shut the motor off and try to start again, it works fine with no alarm, and I can troll for an hour without a problem.
any suggestions are very much appreciated.
thanks!
Joe
