Now on to my questions. When I turn the ignition on I get a load annoying buzzer until the engine starts. When I read up on this it sounds like this might be the oil pressure alarm. Is there anyway to make this stop after a few seconds of not starting the engine? It is real annoying when I am trying to mess around checking stuff out that I need the key on.
The PO checked all of the fluids before taking us out on the water for the test run, but I was honestly overwhelmed with everything that I think I missed a few things he showed me. It has a self contained cooling system and it looks like the overflow bottle is empty. There is coolant in the heat exchanger, but does there need to be any in the overflow, or is this supposed to act only as a burp can? There is also another holding bottle that has blue or green colored fluid in it. Kind of think that is maybe something for the transmission? From what I have read up on the lower unit is self contained, filled from the lower drain plug to prevent air bubbles. This holding bottle would not be for that would it?
What other things, besides the engine, hold fluid? Guess the trim rams. I just want to make sure I am able to check everything over real good myself before I go out for a long weekend. I trust that he changed the fluids as he said that was part of his winterizing as he did not want anything to sit over winter if he had to do other work to it. He wanted to be sure the boat was ready to go come spring time and did not want any surprises waiting for him.
