now as long as battery is on there is a shrill constant beep.. i don't think the engine got wet.. back of the boat stayed up.. will the beeping stop when its dried out? did i fry a fuse? I'm not even sure why, but we took three huge waves over the bow and the anchor door was so far under water that we had a heck of a time opening it.. finally after pulling and prying with a screw driver... it opened.. water went to bilge area and my bilge pumps(2) took 30 minutes to empty out the boat.. but still the constant beep persists and i can't start the boat.. was towed in.. any thoughts? thanking you in advance.. what a day!

I have fully submerged the engine of the PWC w/ the same engine, and I had the beeping too. Mine stopped after a day. Open up the boat and let it dry out, you should be fine.

I've had water 3/4's of the way up the engine block on my Speedster 150 (same engine). The engine's are sealed on these boats - however if water got over the top of the engine then it can go down the dipstick. Check your oil for any water. You may need to take the heads off and see if there are is any water in the cylinders.
It's much better to spend an hour or two making sure no water got in your engine than to ruin it by running it and not checking...could cost a lot to repair.
