    Alarm goes off during take-off...

    Often times, when pulling someone on a tube and starting from a stop, the alarm will go off...I can back off the throttle, then throttle back up and it will stop. Any ideas what this is? I thought the oil level was low, topped it off, but it still does it.

    When turning the key to crank the engine, how fast should it start? I fully expected a new boat/engine to start with barely bumping the key. Mine has to turn over 2-3 seconds before cranking. Is this normal?
