Hi everyone,

If it's a intermittent beep it will be the trim/ tilt sender saying your motor is trimmed too high. Have a look at what your trim gauge says as you trim up & down. These are known to fail sometimes it may just need lube and a wiggle.

Hi, many thanks for replying, the engines are both trimmed all the way down,I will check the sender as you suggest. it is 4 stroke replacement engines that were fitted to the boat before I had her, it looks like they replaced like for like engines, these are heavier and she does ride very low at the back, I am considering taking one off and just having a single.
