Ok so went to take the boat out after it was recently serviced and no problems encoutered, my BF225 started and ran fine but on the second outing with intermittent beeping at idle after about 5 minutes, (about 5 or 6 times, then pause for about 10 seconds, and repeat). I noticed that this doesn't happen when the engine is running over 1,000 RPM, but i have to turn key off, start engine, and get to 1k rpm before the beeping starts (about a 30 second window after it's warmed up)... drop it back to idle and beeping begins within about 30 seconds. No warning lights show on the panel, green light is on, engine runs great at idle and speed.
Needless to say the dealer that serviced it, no names mentioned, has ignored my requests repeatedly to fix the issue and I'm very unhappy about that, they said it tested fine and won't come to the dock at the house to correct the problem (and they are a very long trek on the water away, not to mention I have to take a day off to do this and they are ignoring me).
Anyone have any clue on the beeping? I've used the boat about 6 times for short trips with no lack in performance, just have to stay away from idle and haven't been running it hard.
side note: for the first time today, i trimmed the engine up when i got back and there was a little fuel draining out of the cowling that i maybe didn't notice on other trips (definately not running it till i figure this one out). upon further inspection i found a tube near the front block of the motor it was coming out of... from digging online i believe this is the tube for the vapor separator (on honda's site). Supposedly there is a screw to tighten maybe since i guess the vapor separator can be drained? could this be an indication of another probem, or maybe have to do with the beeping?
Much thanks to anyone that can help me out here! Also any reccomendations to a "dockside service" dealer in Miami, FL would be greatly appreciated
