Alarms
Under a variety of conditions, an alarm will sound to warn you that there is a problem with your engine(s) or
sterndrive(s). Common engine and sterndrive malfunctions include, but are not limited to, the following situations:
● Low engine oil pressure
● Engine overheating
● Water in drive oil or low drive oil level (OceanX only)
● Water in drive bellows (OceanX only)
Alarms sound in order to provide you with an audible warning that your engine or drive has a problem.
NOTICE!
Continuing to run the engine without correcting the cause of the problem may result in engine damage
or equipment failure.
Any engine or drive damage that occurs or is worsened due to ignoring an alarm may not be covered by your
warranty.
For a detailed explanation of the problems mentioned above and the steps to take to deal with them, please refer
to the chapter entitled
Troubleshooting
.
Volvo Penta provides an audible alarm with every engine, however whether it is installed is determined by the
manufacturer of your boat. If your boat does not have an audible alarm available, we strongly recommend that
you contact your dealer to have one installed.
