yesterday about 10 minutes after shutting down the boat at my dock the systems monitor alarm sounded, the screen cycled thru every possible thing that could be monitored. i checked the obvious items (bilge pumps) and found no water and the floats were not hung up. I then started the engines checked the guages and smartcraft for temps and pressures, again all normal. what would cause this condition? Alarm wouldn't shut off so I muffled it with a towel and left the boat. Next morning all systems were reading normal. Any thoughts?
 
I had the same thing happen to me after a hard rain. I wasn't able to get my canvas up in time and the dash got soaked. Started the boat after the rain ended and headed back to the marina. About 5 minutes into the trip the alarm sounded. No flashing lights on the display, just the alarm. I checked everything out and all was fine.

We drove for 15 minutes back to the marina, put her away, buttoned up the canvas as the alarm continued to sound. Just as we were leaving the alarm stopped just as suddenly as it had started. I attributed it to a short caused by the rain and it hasn't happened since.

No rain with mine.
 
True, just pointing out that wacky things happen with the system monitor from time to time and you shouldn't be overly worried about a ghost in the machine.
