What is generating the beep? Bilge pumps and live wells don’t beep.

Fish finder will beep at “boot” but that it

More than likely bad or dirty wire connection(s). Start at the battery and clean every connection as you move forward

Your going to have to trace your wires from the items your trying to power up. Most boats will sound a alarm when starting them up. One of my boats keeps sounding after it starts , have to manually hit the alarm button that is on one of the gauge clusters to turn it off. The other one auto shuts off after it fires up.

Did you buy the boat with this problem or is it a new problem? Brake out the voltmeter and start tracing the wiring/voltage issue.
