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!

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.

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

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

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?

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 🤔

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

[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.

What prop are you running on the Optimax 200?

[emptyquiver]

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

[juniorundersea]

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

[MrHjgottesman]

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

[justincooney]

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??

[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?

[goalieman]

Mine still beeps after oil is spilling out

[Axiong]

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?

[bassinpassion]

Thanks dude, I hope my fix is that easy.

[tropicalparadise]

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
