Greetings All,

New to the group. New to owning a boat, so please forgive my lack of
knowledge, but...

I just a week ago bought a 1991 Sea Ray 185 that was in excellent
condition. The owner was kind enough to take us out briefly on it, and
the boat worked perfectly. However, when we took it out by ourselves,
we had an issue. After getting it undocked and on the water, the
audible alarm went off. Everything seemed ok, but the alarm would go
off. I turned the engine off and restarted it, but the alarm would go
off again. I'm hoping the problem was that I did not trim the motor up
and then back down before getting going. The manual alludes to
something like this.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
