I have a 2004 225 EFI Motor there is an alarm sounding 4 beeps and if ran over 4200 rpms constant alarm and motor goes in to safe mode. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
 
The motor don't have a oil

The motor don't have a oil pump on it the tank is pressurized through a check valve on the motor. That tank feeds a small tank on the motor. could it be a senor in the small tank that has gone bad? Thanks for all your help
 
"Yes, could well be the tank s

"Yes, could well be the tank sensor. The oil alarm doesn't tell you if the system is working, only if it has oil in the tank.

The 4 beeps indicate that the oil in the engine mounted tank is getting low - the continuous beep means it's critically low.

If there is oil in the tank then it is most likely the in tank sensor. (it's the tank sensor that feeds the ECU which in turn is throwing the motor in protect mode - so even if the oil feed is toast and the engine is getting NO OIL, as long as the sensor says their is oil in the tank, the ECU is happy)

To test you simply disconnect the leads coming from the oil tank and check them with an ohm meter. If there is oil in the tank there should be zero resistance (full continuity), if not it's time to replace the sensor (or run without it and be vigalent about keeping the oil topped up...."
