Engine starts well. After 2 min warming, when I want to accelerate I
get 1 long beep. Oil level is ok, fuel level is ok. Fuel gauge doesn't
work. I checked for obstruction at incoming water. This can last for 30
minutes. And for some crazy reason, all of a sudden it is ok for the
rest of the day. During beeping, I cannot accelerate; it doesn't take
its gaz; 3 sec beeping will occur sometimes at 10 sec intervals or at
one minute interval. Has done it for two seasons now. I have asked for
plug-in computer at dealer and result only indicated low battery
message. During problem I have put voltmeter and got 13v reading.
Has anyone ever had this problem before? Any ideas?

Is there oil in your reserve. Not the separate tank but the small white tank on the side of the engine? This must be full at all times. It may speed up the process by opening its cap to let the air out as I feel you may have some air in your system. I am stupid with boats so don't depend on what I say!!!

I just had this on my boat and the beep was the fuel sensor and it needed to be replaced. As far as the boat not getting up to full speed this was an issue with the water intake on the bottom of the boat and a part needed to be replaced on this as well.
Hope this helps
Thanks

First of all I assume that you have the Sea Doo DI engine, if so there is no engine mounted oil tank as there is on a Mercury. The fuel gauge not working could be a bad baffle pick up in the fuel tank and is probably unrelated to the running issue. The key fact is the voltage, the DI engine is a power hog and should have somewhere between 13.9 and 14.1 volts. It is possible that the battery has a cell going dead or the rectifier is bad or going bad. Have you replaced the battery in the last two years?
