In two of my last four outings my SmartCraft gauge has sent a short beep and a “Check Engine” warning. It has only lasted a minute or so and did not come back on. All systems (Temp, PSI, Volts) seem to appear OK. Any advise as to what is going on before I take her in to be checked out. 120+ hours total time on 200hp Optimax motor and 30 hours since full service.

Sounds like a low oil in the upper reservoir. Loosen the cap when Idling and it will fill the tank slowly, and recap it just before it overflows. Though b ready and be fast, or you will have a small mess. So have a rag handy to capture the oil overspill.

^^^If thats the case, you might see if theres a recall on the lid. My 2011 had a loose lid, which I discovered after oil in my splashwell and rigging tube showed up after a tournament. Turns out they had problems with some of the engine mount tanks, mine was fixed under warranty.2011 Sabre FTD w/ Mercury 150 Pro XS, Power Pole Sportsman 2s, Humminbird 898 w/ 360 and 858 at bow, 898 at ConsoleFor lots of BCB love, follow me on instagram: @professorbeard
