Ok, So I'll own up. You may have made the same mistake I did. I changed the
oil in the my Alpha 1 leg for the first time since owning the boat. All my previous boats were outboard and I used the same filling method as I have always done. ie squeeze oil in via the lower plug and watch for oil from the upper /vent plug. This had caused an air lock in the hose to the resevoir tank in the engine bay. Filling the tank stopped the buzzer for a while but as the air in the tube gradually rose into the tank, the oil level dropped and the buzzer sounded again. It took about 4 top-ups over a week to get rid of the air and silence the buzzer. DOH! Steve "Greg" wrote in message m.au... Hi Thought I would save myself a few dollars and do a bit of maintenance on my Bayliner 1850 yesterday and now an alarm is sounding (constant and high pitched)and I have no idea what it is trying to alert me to. Basically, all I did was change the fuel separator, the oil filter, the engine oil and the oil in the leg (Alpha One). I actually put the boat in the water yesterday afternoon and initially thought that the alarm was just the depth alarm (this has happened before) so I made sure that the depth alarm was turned off and the alarm was still sounding. My only thought then was that it might be an oil pressure alarm but the oil pressure guage on the dash was showing expected pressures (engine temp was fine also). Any ideas??? Thanks in advance.
