1995 Mercruiser 350 Magnum Tournament Ski TBI
Ser. OF562552
This engine powers my 1995 Ski Sanger DLX20. I live in MI, and my buddy in CA has the same boat, just the 1994 model. Same engine, but his is carbureted. When I turn on the ignition, there is a very high-pitched beep that lasts about 3 seconds and I hear the fuel pump priming. When he turns on his ignition, there is a much lower and much louder horn sounds, which only subsides when the engine is started. My shop manual indicates his boat is sounding the low oil pressure alarm. I have only heard this sound coming out of my boat once, and sorry, but I can't recall the circumstances. It only happened once. The engine was full of oil, it didn't come back when I restarted the engine and hasn't happened since.
Anybody know: A) What the beep on my boat is? B) Can I test the low oil pressure horn on my boat so I know it's working properly?
Many thanks, PW
