My 35 Lightning has just started a pattern of alarms going off, after the engines have been warmed up and the boat has been ran for 15 minutes or so...usually after coming off plane.
The alarms will sound, each engine, and sometimes taking them out or putting the drives into gear will stop it for a minute. All gauges are reading normally, all resevoirs are adequately filled. What else sets these off? HELP!

Used to happen with my 25 Active Thunder when coming off plane when running down wind. System would detect exhaust fumes from thru-hull exhaust and activate an annoying scream alarm. Only cure was to disconnect alarm.

I had the same problom with my 2006 35 lightening. The engine guardian system would trip a low level alarm. I ran
diagnsostics and no codes in memory. The problom was a
faulty level sensor in the starboard drive fluid reservoir.

Thanks for the tips guys. I topped them off, but I am still getting intermittent alarms; either faulty at resevoir or at oil pressure sending unit. I am having them checked out.

how much water pressure do you have? there is a sender for high pressure which sets and does what your saying when the cooler on the back of the engine is clogged. all other indications such as temp , oil temp, and oil pressure will show normal.
