    Mercury 75 HP turns over 3 times then beeps

    Ok. I would start by making sure battery connections are all clean and tight. And make sure the battery is fully charged. Or use another known to be good battery.

    You are going to need to purchase a repair manual. Factory is best, possibly on ebay. Have you got an impeller for the pump? Found out they are $110 when I sourced one for a co-worker back in March.
