Here goes... I'm on my boat. The engine has been running for 4 minutes(1989 60hp Johnson.)I go to the back of the boat to lift the trolling motor and notice that the outboard battery is not in its right place. I slide the battery with my foot and the Neg(-) lead comes off. The alarm goes off.(Constant Tone) The engine stays running. I turn the engine off and restart it and the alarm is still on. I ran the engine 2 hours that day. It ran fine. I even unintentionally got in some mud. The S.L.O.W. limiter kicked in just like it should. I ran it in reverse and shut it off and fished awhile. When I restarted the motor, the RPM's were just as they should be. But the alarm was still on. The boat sat for 2 weeks and last Sunday (April 18) I connected the battery in my driveway, turned the key 1 ckick and waited for the 3/4 sec declining tone that I always hear. Nope just that straight tone. What did I do? Did I blow some stupid little diode in the alarm circuitry. I've owned this motor for 1 1/2 years and I'm 99% sure that theres nothing wrong with the motor. Any guidance, in any direction, would help. Thanks Dean
