Just a quick update-
After reading through my SmartCraft and Mercury manuals, I found a partial answer to my issue. The SmartCraft manaual did not apply to my boat. I have an audible alarm, but not the one that gives specific guidance. The audible alarm has three possible answers - one, a continuous burst that says you have oil or colling problems; second, a constant beeping that says your drive lube is low; and third, two bursts every minute that says you have a sensor failure.
Mine would be number three. Unfortunately I do not have the elusive code reader. Priced them out at $1,200 for the basic model. I also do not have a shop manual so I can identify and test the individual sensors. Besides ordering through Mercury, does anyone have any suggestions for a good location to buy a shop manual?
Thanks for the feedback!
