I am new to this forum but have been researching it for same problems as mine with only a couple that were close. So if anyone could help it would be appreciated. My problem started a couple of weeks ago with my check engine light coming on and intermitant beep. When I intially put my boat in the water no alarm after intial system check. when in nuetral and running still no alarm. when I put it in gear, about 5 minutes later check engine and intermitant beep go on. When put back into nuetral all clears no problem. back in gear starts again but if i go from nuetral and put in gear then wot no problems. Alarm only sounds if you put it in gear and dont go wot. Once I go wot with no alarm and return to low rpm still no alarm for the rest of the day. Its only the initial time. This alarm doesnt sound when out of the water even when running while flushing. I had a fuel light come on one day which meant water in fuel. I drained both the water seperator and vst filter and light went off but I never changed out the filters. Last time i went out again the alarm light and beep started, once i put it in nuetral and cleared alarms then went wot didnt have any problems. went 30+ miles no alarms. on way back still no alarms but motor bogged down only allowing me to go up to 3000 rpm's still with no alarms. it was a little eratating coming back 30+ miles at 3000 rpm's i might ad 
. Since then I have changed filters but have yet to take it out and see if this solved the bogging problem. Also, I checked the oil tank on the motor and it was alittle low about 1 1/2 from very top so i ran motor with cap off to fill, filled ok. larger tank is full also. thought about taking boat out again to see if alarm sounds after all i've done, dont want to spend $ to have ddt put on if not necessary, but very hesitant. Any help would be great.
