Warning beeps
The 4.3 MPI motors seem to run just fine, yet I'm getting beeps after they come up to temp. that being 175 deg. each.
fluids are toped off.
I guess I'm looking for the definitions for the beeps.
I would be grateful for any guidance.

Re: Warning beeps
It does have a raw water heat exchanger.
With all kinds of business going on top of it. Little air pump
The bottom was clean when I put her in.
Motors are 2004 mercrusier and appear to be complete

Re: Warning beeps
On, did you have any other items on, such as depth sounder, chart plotter, etc., or just the engines. I know on my Santego, I have alarms for AIS, chart plotter, gas fume detector, depth and water temp sounder , transmission, key on/engine not running, etc. my point are you sure the alarm is from your engines?

Re: Warning beeps
Is this vessel new to you? Do you guys winterize where you are? I believe the pump you're talking about (is it a blue hand pump) is used to drain the raw water side of the cooling system. For the system to work properly when put back into service, you need to ensure the system isn't still pressurized with air by pulling the relief valve on top by the air lines.
Do you have gear lube bottles mounted in the engine bay? I don't see them on the engines. If your application does have lube monitors (bottles), ensure they're topped up as low fluid will set off an alarm.
When was the last time the impellers in the drives were replaced?

Re: Warning beeps
So yes Repowered in 2004.
I did not have the depth sounder hooked up.
Impellers were replaced two months ago.
@Viper
that's really what I'm trying to do is narrow down what the alarm is.
A friend of mine told me about a fellow in California will make dongles to hook up to these engines. may have to go that route.
