Every time I try to plane the boat or the my tach hits the 3 on my dial that buzzer goes off.
I have changed the oil pump, sensor, alarm box, oil line from the resevior ( which had an air pocket), and filled that resevior. I can idle for days with no problem, but the minute I put a load on that throttle , off goes the buzzer. my mechanic wants to yank off the buzzer but I feel that bone heads like me need that buzzer and pulling the buzzer will not fix the real problem. Any help would help me to sleep and fish again. mike"
