2015 60HP MERCUY ALAM CODES
I have a 2015 mecury 4 stroke 60hp that when I turn it on I beeps . I am not familiar with 4 stroke motors . I do know that I have a bad battery I hope this is what it is but not sure . I know it is supposed to beep when you first turn the key but this does not stop .

I have a 2013 merc 60 4 stroke that beeps once every time you turn on the key for about a second. If yours is beeping more than once you can look in your owners manual but my battery was dying on me once and seems like it beeped 3 of 4 times I cant remember.

I have a smaller Merc 4 stroke that would beep on me after running awhile this past summer,turns out it would run a little hot because my impeller was bad.I changed it out and didn't hear the beep again.

Could be from a short, or bad sensor. I don't know as the battery is the problem, unless your motor has a sensor that monitors the battery output ... and there's not enough juice in the battery to safely start the motor.

I'm no expert or mechanic ... all this info was taken from discussions (on other websites) and a Google search.
I do know that low oil will set off a continuous noise at speed. Happened to me, once, down in Tenn. Had to idle to a marina & put oil in the oil tank on my 90hp Merc. 2stroke. A 4strk engine "may" have more sensitive sensors, and be connected to more components of the engine than just the oil sending unit & thermostat.
A little more detail on the beeping, and what's going on when it occurs, might also help members (more knowledgeable than me) figure out what the problem is .... and how difficult it is to fix it DIY, and not have to pay the high parts & labor costs of a mechanic.

The dreaded Mercury beep!
For some reason unbeknownst to most, Mercury utilizes beep codes to tell you when there "might be" or "is" an issue. The problem (as many have found) is that it is very hard to differentiate which beep or code means what.
You think you have a low oil alarm and it ends up being a low water intake alarm.
I would check the oil level to ensure it is where it is supposed to be. I know that on some motors, they like to be right in the middle of the dipstick and higher levels actually throw a pressure code.
When you put it and gear and try to run it, does it go into "limp" mode? Limp mode is "supposed" to be designed so you do not do damage to your motor and you can only get to a certain RPM range. Basically it allows you to get back to the dock.
It could also be a low water intake alarm. This can be caused by a couple of variables. One, it could be a bad impeller. Two, it could be a plugged impeller line or an obstructed line. Three, on some Mercury motors (the Optimax was one) they actually had a pre filter screen prior to the impeller. This pre filter can get plugged with debris and cause the alarms to sound due to improper induction of water.
If it has a flush port, try running your garden hose to the flush port for 10 minutes or so.
The other thing you can do is find someone with a computer, plug it in to the motor and find out exactly what the code is.
