94 four winns fling ?s

[vortecmax4x4]

this is my first post and it regards my first boat. i have a 94 four winns fling with 115 hp 2 stroke when i turn the key over i get a constant beep.and the boat has not been in the water in a while but has been kept inside. i have taken it out once since i bought it. i am just wondering what this means i have no manual or guide for this any suggestions will help........and is there any way i can attach my garden hose to it to keep from driving 15 mins to the water to work on it

First, welcome to iboats.

second, your fling is a jet drive, IIRC, so you will get a better response from the PWC crowd. There are some who frequent both forums, but the I/O - inboard boats are mostly "car" based engine, while the jets are not.

Ayuh,... Welcome Aboard,...

You'll find your Answers over in the Jetski Forum,....

This is the I/O Forum.....

Maybe a moderator will move it for you, or you can repost over there....

I have a Boston Whaler 15' Rage which has the same jet drive. A constant warning horn means an overheat. A repeating horn means a lack of oil from the VRO tank/pump. A handheld IR temp guage is a real help with these drives. I would take apart and flush out every inch of the cooling system also make sure there is already a strainer in the intake hose off the back plate of the drive as they often suck up sand and clog the cooling system.

Forgot the second half of your post;
They made an adaptor that connected a garden hose to the outside of the intake where the housing opens to clear out weeds etc. TurboJet sells these and other jet parts. You could also rig up a garden hose to the water intake inside the engine compartment.
Good luck with it. Outside of cooling system quirks the drives work well.
