We have 2003 Doral 310 Intrigue. While under way, whether up on plane or at slow speeds, this alarm sounds every 60 secs (2 beeps). All gauges read normal, engines are running perfectly. Has anyone else ever seen this?

It isn't mystery if you look into your engine manual. The double beep means that your engine controller wants to tell you that it detected an error or problem which isn't vital (yet). I don't know what engine you have but for Mercruisers the double beep is for several types of errors and you can only find out what it really is by reading the error codes from the engine controller.

The older non EPI/MPI engines with the buzzer for oil pressure/temp/gear lube won't give you a double beep every 60 seconds..... That would end up in random beeps.

Are you sure you don't have a drift alarm active on your plotter?
