Need help my 1997 doesn’t beep when key is on but engine is not running. Start engine and get continuous beeping, even though 3 gallon oil reservoir, full and secondary reservoir on engine is full. When I left oil float to top or button with engine off and key no sound. Replaced alarm module last summer.
You have to let engine idle with tank cap loose and let it fill up and tighten, should fill in less than 10 seconds if your pressure valve is working properly.
Thank you! That is the same problem on our boat and your video saved us a lot of money!
This video saved my maiden voyage on my new/used 2001 key west, wife was impressed after watching video, thank you for posting
Thanks! Enjoy your new boat.
Bingo! Exactly what happened to me with 175 HP Mercury yesterday!
Wait, so you are saying that the low oil alarm triggered when there was low oil. Great video bro!
Bro. Did you watch the video? The issue was it would not stop beeping.
@@mbrenengen Yes, Unfortunately.
Cool. Thanks for commenting.

That makes sense. I really appreciate your comment. It is very helpful.
The Optimax units work the same way!
That's the oil sensor tank but replace the tank so you don't run the motor out of oil again
If you unplug one of the blue wires under the small oil tank it will stop beeping
That's not the issue... Watch the video.
What oil do you run in there. My boat is doing the exact thing. Can you run the same oil as the tank that mixes with the fuel ?
Yes. The motor just sucks it out of the tank into that reservoir
Replace your oil tank it's the sensor
