Ok so the boat is a 99 232 with a 454mpi, bravo 1.
As i went to get on plane today the alarm went off .. solid so i throttled down and looked at all the gauges and everything is fine. got on plan everything fine. It did it a few more times after that but only if im taking a sharp turn or if the boat comes out of the water. Temp, oil pressure all good. I checked engine oil level thinking it might trigger it at times and thats fine as well.
Can it be the drive oil?
I also heard a sqreeching noise from the drive once or twice..
thanks in advance

Yes, it is most likely low drive oil.

Or.....if it looks full, take it off and clean it out anyway. More than one person lately has complained about a full looking bottle that is actually full of sludge in the bottom (me included). I had a drive loose all fluid but the bottle still looked 1/2 full and the alarms did not go off.
