Got this off the Merc mechanic site.
An intermittant "beep...beep...beep" sound has to do with oil injection. A steady continuous " beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep" has to do with overheating. Oil injection on all outboards produces an intermittant beep when there is either a problem with your motor not getting oil, oil tank level sensor is bad, or your oil level in the tank is low. When the oil tank is low, you have roughly 30 to 45 minutes running time before being empty. Regardless, when you hear the intermittant "beep...beep...beep" sound, always make sure you know the answer (low oil or no oil) before continuing to operate motor further. If you dont understand the oil warning, your motor is doomed from continued operation if the oil injection system has failed. One other thing I have seen is the link arm and plate for VRO oil unit mounted backward.. Yes mounted backwards. So when you accelerate it cuts oil to engine and VRO sensor goes off. I had a bad repair shop work on mine once and they did that. Wrench my own now. Capt Mike
