Before I have to take into a shop, maybe someone can steer me in the right direction. I have an 04 Champion w/ 04 225 Opti that I bought maybe 6 months ago. Immediately took it in for new impeller, lube change, etc and took it out today for the 3rd time since and had a 4 chime alarm go off every 5 minutes or so. Good pee stream, oil is good in compartment and reservoir in motor, but noticed no psi on water gauge. I drained the fuel/water seperator with maybe an 1/8th in of fuel in it when I got home. I'm not a mechanic by any means, just went through the book. Any other ideas for a cause? Thanks for the help and sorry for the long post.

Sounds like the float in the onboard oil tank sticking. Will need a new tank. Unplug the sensor and put a jumper wire across the engine harness. I use a paper clip. If the alarm quits then you need a tank. The computer has to recieve a signal or return voltage.

If it uses a plastic drive gear on the oil pump like my 200 Mariner Super Mag. It could be giving up. Mine gave me a couple of warnings like that before it totally stripped. It's not easy to determine, I did all the test before pulling the oil pump and drive gear and found shreaded plastic. There is a fix, if interested I' ll tell you a about it.

Thanks bearmarine, ill look into it...champ, ill pm you

I have never seen a float stick what happens merc glues a magnet to bottom of float to activate sensor and it comes loose and sensor reads magnet float is up and magnet is down if you replace your tank cut old one open you will see what i amtalking about

take it to a shop an have them hook the computer to it that would be much better than having the motor go down it should show codes to why your getting horns.
