[h=2]Intermittent 2 beep engine alarm[/h]
2003 300 Sundancer 5.0 Port engine runs great, all gauge readings normal but audible alarm sounds 2 beeps at idle & low speed. This is present a few min after starting. I noticed when placing the start engine into the run position prior to starting, the port engine sounds 2 short beeps while the starboard engine sounds 1 short beep. After starting, there are no beeps until the port engine starts to alarm. The raw water pump was just replaced due to a leak prior to puirchasing the boat a few weeks ago and the alarm started approx 15 hours later. The manual states 2 short beeps is caused by low gear oil but the level was just below the line. I added gear oil and now it is just above the line. I am not sure if the gear oil sensor is normally open when low or closed. I could either open the sensor or short the connection to eliminate the gear oil monitor. I do not have the smart gauge system and will have a mechanic scan the ECM codes unless anyone has any ideas.
