Can someone help this new-to-mercury owner? For some reason, I am getting a solid warning tone when the motor is digging for an extended period of time. Today, I was coming into Sebastian Inlet following a large wave into the dangerous inlet. The RPM's were around 2000 or so. All of a sudden I got a solid tone and the Motor went into protection mode (no power)
Once safely inside the inlet, I anchored and raised the motor. It was not overheating. I checked the oil tank, and it was nearly full. Even the reserve oil tank on the motor was full. I lowered the motor. It started and ran great the rest of the day.
This is the second time this has happened. Should I be worried, or should I take the motor to the dealer? You know how it is, it never happens when it is at the mechanic! I dont want to sound like an idiot.
