Merc. Black Max problem

[djole]

You know, I have the same problem with my 1990 175 Black Max. But I've noticed that mine beeps intermittently (like last time I was at Pineview, the water was pretty rough and every time I would hit a wave, the beeping would start, then stop the next wave). I've talked to a couple of people at work with boat experience and they have told me to check the wiring at the junction. Their should be a wire junction back by your batt. and oil storage compartment where the wires split to the oil reservior and up to the thermostat on the engine (that beeping, at least on my skeeter, only happens with low oil or overheating). It could be any number of things that cause this. Corroded wires, bad rheostat on the oil reservior, bad thermostat, or corrosion any where in-between! I still haven't taken the time to trouble shoot mine, but when I do I will post the results.

You could also ask around these boating forums: [url "http://forums.iboats.com/index.php"]http://forums.iboats.com/index.php[/url]

There are several make/model specific threads there to search too.

Let me know if you figure anything out on yours man, might be real helpful!!

Thanks
