My 2008 tahoe Q6 mercruiser 4.3 carburetor and beeping when goes over 30 Rpm, not continuous, when slow down stops.
Water and oil pressure is normal, all oils is top level and the boat runs well and normal.
So what this could be
??
Thank you

Thanks
I'm not finding a soft alarm (2 beeps a minute) on your motor. Is the beep like 2 a minute, or is it erratic and not a steady beeps?

With it happening as speed increases I would think its the Temp switch. As speed increases, temp also increases slightly and may be just enough to make it happen. Disconnect the switch (not the gauge) and see if it stops

Don't think its the oil pressure because of an increase in pressure. Same with the lube bottle because it would be do to vibration.

U have fume detector??? Regardless, excesses (disconnect and reconnect) all switch connectors including alarms. Wasps and hornets are bad in NW Florida for clogging up blower hoses and reducing air intake to bilge area.
