Last weekend my key choke alarm started going off. A loud beep beep beep. It would not quit.(It is a quicksilver key choke with an alarm in a nylon bag under the steering consol) I filled up the oil tank on my 1989 inline 6 mercury 115 outboard and it kept on beeping. The manual said it would go off it the engine overheated or if the oil pump failed. I tried it again monday and is still beeping. It starts beeping as soon as you turn on the ignition, before the motor even starts. It stays on when the motor is running. So I know it is not telling me the engine is too hot. I also took the inline full filter on the motor off and cranked the motor, the oil pump seems to be working because the oil gas mixture is green. The motor starts and runs fine. I have not taken boatfrom the dock though , because I am conerned about damaging something on the motor. Help?
