Subject: Alarm on 150 Optimax

I have a 1998 Optimax 150 hp with 144 hours on it . Tonight while ideling to the dock the check engine light came on and the alarm sounded every 3 or 4 seconds . I got to the dock and shut it off . Went and got the truck, backed the trailer in . Started the engine back up and alarm and light were gone , was able to power on the trailer no problem . Anyone else ever have this happen , got any ideas as to what causes this ?
Thanks to all that reply

It could be any one of several alarms, including oil or water pressure, if I remember correctly. To be sure, you can take her in and have the dealer plug it in to see what code comes up.

HAD ALARM PROBLEMS WITH MY OPTIMAX TURNED OUT TO BE WATER INTAKE. THERE WAS A GASKET THAT WAS LEAKING CAUSING THE WATER INTAKE PUMP NOT TO SUCK IN THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF WATER TO COOL THE ENGINE. ALWAYS DID THIS WHILE IDLEING. AFTER A NEW IMPELLAR FOR THE PUMP AND GASKET TO SEAL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED.........
