I have a 2006 Sea Ray 38 with Mercruiser inboard gas engines. I recently had maintenance work done (at the local dealer) to replace the water pumps, impellers and an oil change. Now when I start the engines I get 3 beeps with about 1 second delay between each beep. You can watch a video here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/9UmdZ246z2Zqh2Qy5. (Note, the very first beep is from turning on the ignition and is completely normal.)
When this first started happening, only the starboard gauges would drop to zero, now after a few weeks of checking on my boat, both the starboard and port gauges drop to zero during the beeps. After the initial start, the boat is good for about 5 minutes then I get a single beep and the engines stall. Afraid to take it out now...
My uneducated guess is that this is an electrical problem and not a result of the recent maintenance work. The local dealer mechanic could not figure out the problem so I'm desperate for help from this forum.
Thanks,
Mark
