| Engine beeps 4 times at the counsel then stops very 2 minutes. Though it was because low oil. I filled the tank it still happens. Ran the engine and it seems when it gets over 4500 rpms it is a solid beep. What should I look for next?
Thanks

Location: minocqua, wi. | look at your pee hole and make sure there's a stream of water coming out ... either it's plugged or you need a new impeller. don't run it til you fix it. |

| I agree, it is probably a water pressure deal. I had a new impeller installed and had the same thing going on. The guys accidentally kinked a hose when putting it back together. Water was squirting out just fine but not making it to the top of the engine like it was supposed to. I have a good shop I use and they admitted the mistake, appogized and fixed it for free. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | If you had low oil to the point air is in the lines, you need to bleed that air out. Put the boat in the water, take off the cowl, loosen the engine oil reserve tank cap a bit, and start the engine; when the oil hits the top cap it quick. Have a rag ready. |

| I 2nd what Steve said... I have ran the oil completely dry before, and drained the reserve. I couldn't figure out why once I refilled the oil reservoir it still acted as tho there was no oil in it I took it in and what Steve said is exactly what they did. |

| I just saw this and was going to suggest the magnet probably broke off the float inside the reservoir. Can't be fixed, so a new tank is in order. I think they cost about $70. |
