40 hp honda trim warning

[doug1947]

how do I silence the beeping?? At full down trim (boat runs best there) it beeps and beeps, three quick jabs on the up button it stops beeping....and boat slows down. Which is the correct wire to disconnect in the box by the lower plug? Also what RPM should the 40 hp 4 stroke run at flat out (with stock prop)? thanks in advance for any help.

You're pretty sure this alarm has something to do with the tilt? Before making any changes to the wiring, I'd likely want to know about possibilities of something else causing it (like low oil pressure or something similar).

As far as the prop, there's no such thing as a "standard" prop. They're SUPPOSED to be selected by the dealer installing the engine to allow the engine to turn max rated rpm (5500 or so I believe).

I've never heard of a trim alarm?
I'm with ahicks that it might be for something else.
How's your crankase oil level?
Also, what are your current maximum rev's.
