Why were you in such a rush? The beeping sound just alerts you to an issue, but it does not mean the motor is gonna blow up. Could be a kinked oil hose. These newer (2000+) motors have so many built in safety features that automatically either slow the RPM's or simply shut the motor down. NEVER, rush when loading/unloading boats since that is a sure-fire way to have more problems with personal safety, ruining equipment (both yours and others around you). I saw this same type of scenario play out dozens of times in my years working at Bear Lake. Personally, if I was near by (which I typically was) I could see these things coming seconds and minutes before they come to fruition. (I have to admit I enjoyed watching the mishaps too.) I do hope you get your boat fixed, but SLOW down and THINK it through before doing anything that will jeopardize your safety and/or others.
