Hi All,
I have a 2004 260 Sundancer w/ 5.0 Litre Mercruiser.
While cruising on Saturday, the alarm started beeping twice
every two minutes. Otherwise the boat ran fine and all the
vitals seemed ok.
I spoke with a Mercruiser rep and they stated the Smartcraft alarm will only go off once per minute and of course said I should go to a dealer so they can use their code reader. Unfortunately going to a dealer is far from convenient.
Perhaps it's not the Smartcraft alarm at all, but sub-system.
The Smartcraft Display does not indicate anything either. Although I do get the occasional "Trim Fault" alarm which is
random and I don't think related.
I have read where it could be the IAC valve even though I
have no problem with idling or power.
Any thoughts on troubleshooting this would be appreciated. The audible alarm is very annoying.
One final thing though, even though the Smartcraft manual does not show this as a symbol, on the LED display is what appears to be an outdrive symbol that does not dissapear, even with the batteries disconnected. The Mercruiser rep said that no symbol exists so I am guessing that it is just some bad pixals on the LED. Weird though.
