I suppose you went through a shut down and restart deal also right? Just a basic reset. I use to have this happen once in a great while and for the life of me can't remember the problem. It may have been the drive resivor tanks/bottles mentioned in above post. But I would imagine it had something to do with install. Wasn't that way before but is now. Did you clip off a sensor/sender or something lowering new install? Ground? Possibly buzzer itself but I doubt it. Just start process of elimination. Glad all at least went well and it was nothing obvious. You'll find it

Are you sure its the warning horn for the engines NOT a fume detector or CO alarm or Low depth alarm ?
Is your engines stock with stock ECM if so post your engine serial numbers.
Possibles - wiring, low voltage (battery (ies), other possibles- how you have your batteries linked all together, have you load tested your batteries and checked all connections and for corrosion issues ? Shorted wiring.
Unplug your gear lube bottles wires while alarm is going off ? Did alarm go away ?
Next what kind of alarm ??? solid horn - solid horn but stops and starts all over , or Beep beep beep ??? You failed to mentioned that end ? I understand this should be a MEFI ecm is this correct for your app cause 50 % up here do not have stock apps. Always have to ask these important things. Can not fix if you do not know exactly what you have for an app. Just saying
Do you have one warning horn for twin engines or do have 2 warning horns for each engine ???
Possible warning horn bad or shorted

I just had the same problem last week running the boat for the 1st time. Turned out to be corrosion in the tether/kill switch. I think it was just enough to change the voltage and sounding alarm steady

I had an alarm go off the first year with our boat 7.4 mpi - stock-- turns out it wasn't an engine alarm but a depth alarm-- I inadvertently set the alarm depth wrong and it was going crazy.
