Took my boat (Silverton 34C) out of storage, completed all services, fluids, batteries, ect. First outing after a few minutes of running the buzzer/engine alarm started going off, but all engine parameters are normal on the gauges and there are no warning lights active. Any thoughts? It is a 6.0 Crusader approx. 650 hours.
 
Bad switch/ sensor. Had that problem several times with Mr. Starboard and it was a failed oil pressure switch each time. The way to find out is to let the fool thing buzz away and start removing sensor/ switch connections until it goes away. Then replace that item.

PS" The oil pressure switch SHOULD buzz when starting the motor. Of course, you knew that!
 
is it the ECU alarm that is sounding or did somebody put a stand-alone warning system on the engine? If its the ECU generated alarm, a scan tool will tell you what the ECU senses as the problem....if its a stand-alone system, you'll have to check the switches individually...like Jeff said, the OP switch has a high failure rate...
