How to fix 4 beep oil alarm on Mercury 200

In this video I will tell you all how to fix the 4 beep oil alarm on my 2010 Nitro Z7 bass boat. When you're out tournament fishing this is the worst feeling to have knowing there is an oil issue. Its a VERY quick and easy fix especially if you're already on the water!

Thanks for sharing. For anyone who's clueless as I was a video like this goes a long way. Thanks again and keep posting.

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

B Gonz glad it helped!

[@MohdAbbas123]

Thank you Michael, I had the same issue and got it done after seeing your video 👍🏻

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

Mohd Abbas awesome!!! That gets me pumped when I can help someone out!

[@edtravis9174]

Brother this was a perfect video. My beeps happened over the weekend and my Merc mechanic is booked out three months. I'm going to try it and hopefully it will work.

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

Glad I could help!

[@RicoAbroad]

Guess who's water ready after coming here to KZbin University. Thanks professor! Changed the reservoir and bled it just like you said.

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

Tyshun1 that’s awesome man I’m glad I could help!!

[@bassinpassion9313]

Thanks dude,I hope my fix is that easy.

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

No problem man hopefully it fixes it for you!

[@bassinpassion9313]

Michael Knapp Fishing ,well I had to replace the reservoir

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

Oh dang! Was it busted?

[@mariomunoz1785]

Great video man. I'm have same issue but for some reason my 3 gallon tank is not transferring the oil to the Resivor like it should I add oil to the resivor I turned the boat on and I loosen the resivor cap but it not bleeding. What can try to see how get that working again 🤔

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

Did you leave it open for awhile? Mine took a total of almost 7 minutes to bleed less than an inch in the tank. It’s definitely not a fast process

[@barbozasilva5083]

Excelente

[@terry3469]

Thank you

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

Terry Boone no problem! Hope it helped!

[@Axiong319]

Any helpful videos of how to reset or delete codes from the computer to avoid having to take it to the shop to have it cleared out?

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

SBP StrictlyBassPatrolling I haven’t done any videos on it and I’m not real sure if you can. I think the Mercury Vessel View gives you more options though

[@BamaBassCatcher99]

Is the hose the connects to the big tank suction a black hose with blue line?

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

I’m not sure

[@MrFutureParadox]

A somewhat related question. Is there a seal or o ring for the sensor on the left? A friend is having a problem with that apparently leaking and causing beeping.

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

Yes there should be a seal on it

[@MrFutureParadox]

@@MichaelKnappFishing oil is leaking out where the wires for the sensor is

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

@@MrFutureParadox that’s not good! I’ve never had to deal with that issue before. I would call a marina and inquire

[@luckyvangMD]

my issue is that the two large tanks will not fill the reserve even after I open the knob to bleed it. any thoughts? Is there physical pump of some sort?

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

lucky vang make sure that your oil tank is sealed well. These tanks works off of a pressure system not a pump. If the motor oil reservoir won’t fill you have to bad lines or a major leak somewhere

[@luckyvangMD]

@@MichaelKnappFishing Okay. thanks so much.

[@MrHjgottesman]

When you add the oil do you have the engine running or is it off?

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

Motor is off when adding oil to the big tank

[@QTooner]

thanks

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

No problem

[@noenthusiasts]

All of this works fine but I think I'm going to have to replace the sending unit from the float. You can see the blue wires at 3:57 or the entire tank if the float inside it is bad. Thats a $200 kiss from Mercury. Loosening the cap works great but I still get the 4 beeps so something with the oil is flagging trouble. Will I need to have a dealer clear the codes after I do all of this ? Also is there a strainer in the pickup tube in the big tank that I should check for blockage?

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

I would take to my dealer if you’re having those issues

[@noenthusiasts]

@@MichaelKnappFishing I had to. Found out the Mercury Dealer who sold it to me missed a Mercury recall on the gas line. That getting replaced and the new tank for 315.00 and we're off to the lake. BOAT Bust out another thousand eh?

[@NathanCoffmanFishing]

@@noenthusiastsI’m having the same issue as you. What tank did he replace?

[@NathanCoffmanFishing]

Also, the gas line? Where’s this located

[@noenthusiasts]

The small white plastic one on the left side of the engine. Very spendy, 213.00 and took 4 months to get it. FYI what started as alarms also learned of a recall for the gas lines. White with little red diamond pattern. It disintegrates on the inside plugging up everything. Replace the line and filters.@@NathanCoffmanFishing

[@TX_Nupe]

What prop are you running on the Optimax 200?

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

I’ll be honest I don’t remember what prop was on it lol I’ve since gotten a new boat and motor

[@davidthomas2921]

Looks like a bravo

[@juniorundersea]

do you have to tight the cap again or let it that way after loose 2 or 3 times ?

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

Make sure it’s tight but don’t over tighten to the point of breaking it

[@juniorundersea]

@@MichaelKnappFishing ok thanks sr

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

@@juniorundersea no problem!

[@emptyquiver8290]

Done the same thing. No luck getting rid of the alarm. Changed the entire oil tank and it didn’t work either. Still getting the alarm

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

Something else must be going on. I would reach out to a marina

[@justincooney6873]

Is there a filter between the main and onboard reservoir tank? Thinking if this got clogged up it could reduce the amount of oil to this motor reservoir. Anyone??

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

That I do not know! That's something I would ask a Mercury mechanic about.

[@justincooney6873]

@@MichaelKnappFishingTurns out there is a fine filter within the main tank. Might be worth a look as well. Cheers!

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

@@justincooney6873 good to know!

[@aliguebsi7214]

What about mercury 60cv 4t efi ??

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

I’m not 100% sure I’ve never had one

[@goalieman22]

Mine still beeps after oil is spilling out

[@tropicalparadise5250]

My issue is that as soon as i turn the boat on its a continuous beep its always went from running very close to iddle speed never ran right noone has ever gotten the issue

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

That’s odd! I would definitely contact Mercury about it

[@deer_hunters_addictions5507]

How to do you get it to quit beeping after you fix it

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

Deer_Hunters_ Addictions it quits on its own once the oil reservoir is full

[@deer_hunters_addictions5507]

Michael Knapp Fishing my reservoir on the motor was a tad low i filled it up let it over flow and filled main reservoir up and its still beeping not. It was in limp mode with low oil it came out after i filled it up.

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

Deer_Hunters_ Addictions if your motor is still giving off the 4 beeps and both oil tanks are full your sensor has more than likely gone bad

[@Nass1986]

Hi having the same problem i already replace the tank and did the same thing , still when i run it i here the same beep after 20 minutes , it beeps 4 beeps i open the tank the tank is low again on oil kindly if any one knows how to free the air from the oil pump it self let me know with a video thank u so much , its embarrassing my engine runs only 16 hours and its brand new ...

[@Nass1986]

I hear 4 beeps

[@MichaelKnappFishing]

@@Nass1986 if your motor is brand new is wouldn’t touch it! Take it to your dealer ASAP
