I don't see this code in the troubleshooting guide in my manual, so I wondered if somebody could tell me what it means.
Thanks.

I have noticed this also on my Speedster 200. I assume that the 2 x 2 short beeps are the OK to start the engines, although on our last boat, 1997 Challenger 1800 w/twin 110, it would just beep twice for both engines. I have no idea what the long beeps are for, but they sure are loud and annoying. I will ask my dealer when I take it in for the 10 hr. check.I just picked up my Speedster 200, and everything worked fine at the dealership, (the normal 2 beeps when the DESS cap is put on) but when we got it home, and put the DESS cap on the post, I got 3 long beeps and then 4 short beeps. The 4 short beeps kept repeating. The shifter was in neutral, and the engines would still start.
I don't see this code in the troubleshooting guide in my manual, so I wondered if somebody could tell me what it means.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give it a try.I also just bought a speedster 200 and had the same problem. The problem was actually me. The beeps that you are hearing mean the cap is not on good. I would put my cap on and keep moving the shifter and could never get it to start until I unplugged and plugged the lanyard back in. That was my first three times out until I found out what the beeps meant. Take your lanyard and push it very firmly and quickly. After I started doing that I have never had a problem again. I was ready to take it back to the dealer until I found out what the beeps meant. I just started pushing it on quickly and firmly and everything is great now. Hope this helps. I also just replaced my m255 with an m455 and put a Clarion remote with the LCD in the drivers cupholder. Perfect fit. Happy Boating Kev

ATTENTION: DO NOT believe this guy! He keeps saying on various forums here that he's done this radio swap and remote install. But he's yet to produce the evidence.I also just bought a speedster 200 and had the same problem. The problem was actually me. The beeps that you are hearing mean the cap is not on good.
