I posted this a couple of weeks ago, but trying again as Searay can't give me an answer. Boat is out of water and plugged in to electricity. When I turn my bilge blower on, an alarm sounds similar to when your high water bilge pump is activated. Blowers do not turn on though. It does this with all power to panel turned off as well. Carbon monoxide detectors are functioning as they should. Generator rockers are not accidentally in the on position. These are just a couple of suggestions people offered. Any other thoughts???!!

Any alarm display on the system monitor? Also same results from bridge and power panel in the salon?
 
My systems monitor is dead, so no help there. Will be upgrading that with Maretron soon. Yes, it alarms with bridge and salon rocker activated.
 
Check the fireboy controls
Is that where the alarm is coming from?
If the bottle leaked or the control ha problems it will shutdown blowers
Also the engined
 
Thank you hughespat57. It was in fact the fireboy system. I bypassed the switch at the bridge and all was well. Good call!!
 
Didn't you have another thread going on this subject and that was suggested there a couple of weeks ago? Maybe that was someone else....
