2006 272 continuous beeping
As long as key is turned to right including when engine is on. Happened after restarting the dock after a little run. Temperature under 150. Alarm does not turn off on its own until key is back to center or turned left for accessory mode. Ran Friday night, Saturday and today no issues. Any ideas?

Did you check your depth finder alarm depth setting ? It has fooled quite a few on this forum.

Re: 2006 272 continuous beeping
Depth and air temp are blank/don't show anything/don't work.
Doubt it is related but the engine hatch isn't working. Motor is working but no lift. It had a slow leak once lifted a few days ago. When trying to manually lift it won't go past a certain height so I can't set the bar to keep it up.

Depth finder was my first guess too. What does your volt gauge read when running?

It was first weekend on lake after fluids changed. Drive oil being low was mentioned by my mechanic.

Yes the pesky drive reservoir alarm. If it's just a hair loss they sound. I always kept extra drive oil in the boat because it always dropped through out the summer.

Yup. That’s mentioned in the second link posted above.

Yes but I didn't see anything specific to the constant beeping. He mentioned after 30 or 40 seconds and mine starts within 10 seconds and never stops. I appreciate your help.
