I have an SX19 (2007) with a 4.3L Mercruiser. I have a problem with the alarm gong off until the engine has been running a while and then it comes back on and stays on when the boat starts again even if still warm. I immediately checked the guages the first time it stayed on and everything looked great and the boat was still running great. But after reading a couple of posts about the alarm I've read there is a reserve oil that could be low? How do I check this, verify my guages are correct, and get the buzzer to shut the $$$$ up?

i had same problem with my shabah, i topped up oil reservior and alarms turned off..

Yep, check your gear lube reservoir. Mine had the same problem, but the level never dropped, turned out the sensor in the reservoir went bad. It was a $45 part, but ended up costing over $500 in diagnostics and multiple visits to the service center to get it resolved.

I am having the exact same problem as well. I posted the problem in another thread. My reservoir is full, so I will change the sensor next time I can.
Is there any possibility of there being an air blockage in the line, as I havent needed to top it up for a while?
Could someone please check out my picture so that I am checking the correct reservoir.
Cheers

Yep Tony, that's the correct one. I don't think there's an air blockage in the line, otherwise you'd have some pretty obvious signs.

Hi folks. I am a new boater and have a 1998 Miriah 246 5.7 Alpha. After a weekend of boating with my family, on our last run, (6 people on board) the alarm buzzer came on. I slowed the boat down and checked all guages and they semmed to be fine, the alarm stopped . This happened three times. After reading some of your posting it looks like it might be a senser or that the oil needs topping up. What do you think???:
