Warning System
WARNING HORN SIGNALS
When the key switch is turned to the "ON" position, the horn will
turn on for a moment as a test to indicate the horn is working.
There are two types of warning horns to alert the operator of an
active problem within the engine’s operating system.
1.
Continuous six second beep:
Indicates a critical engine
condition. Depending on the condition, the Engine Guardian
system may engage and protect the engine by limiting it’s
power. You should return to port immediately and contact
your servicing dealer.
2.
Intermittent short beeps for six seconds:
Indicates a
noncritical engine condition. This condition does not require
immediate attention. You may continue using your boat,
however, depending on the nature of the problem, the
engine’s power may be limited by the Engine Guardian
system (see
Engine Guardian System
following) to protect
the engine. You should contact your servicing dealer at your
earliest convenience

ENGINE GUARDIAN SYSTEM
The Engine Guardian system monitors the critical sensors on the
engine for any early indications of problems. Engine Guardian is
functional whenever your engine is operating, so you never have
to be concerned about whether or not you are protected. The
system will respond to a problem by sounding the warning horn
for six seconds and/or reducing engine power in order to provide
engine protection.
If Engine Guardian has been activated, reduce the engine
speed. The problem will need to be identified and corrected. The
system must be reset before the engine will operate at higher
speeds. Moving the throttle lever back to the idle position will
reset the Engine Guardian system. If the Engine Guardian
system has determined the reset has not corrected the problem,
Engine Guardian will remain activated, limiting the throttle. The
problem must be identified and corrected before Engine
Guardian will allow the engine to reach a normal operating RPM.

When was the last time the water pump was replaced ? A big deal on the Opti`s usually change mine at max every two years. Have the thermostats been checked or looked at lately gunk like sand and mud gets caught up in them and they don`t function properly. Water out the pee hole has no bearing on weather the engine is getting enough cooling water. Check your small oil tank under the hood port side to make sure it is full if any air at all showing it needs to be bled. A few things for you to check out.

Water pump has not been changed since I've had boat, bout 3 years now.
Thanks for the tips. I appreciate the responses you two have given.
