i am new to boating , i have a 40 h 1994 merc 2 stroke. It is running well but last time out an alarm or sensor in the throttle controls started ringing . it wont go away and i cant see any problem with motor or control. Motor dosnt not apear to be running hot. does any body have a suggestion on what it is or what i can do?

Constant tone is overheat. Pulsing tone is oil related. Which is it?

Constant tone is overheat alarm. Could be the thermostats. If you have them, they aren't expensive and easy to replace.
