No both tanks were not empty. It beeped only for a couple minutes. The big tank still had an inch in the bottom.
Here is another update.
I got new spark plugs and just installed them. I tried to start it but it still wouldn't start. So I took out the plugs and there was only a gas smell on them. I must have been mistaken about the oil smell. The new plugs still looked brand new except the smelled like gas. So there was no spark getting to them. anyone know what would make the spark go away?

Also, maybe air got into the system. My guess is to bleed the oil system in order to take the air out.

Ok here's the latest. I took out the plugs and they are filled with oil and smell like gas. How in the world did they all get like that at once? I took them all out and cleaned them with a dry rag and put them back in. It still won't start. I took them out again and they are oily and gassy again. Kinda like me after pizza or pasta. What do I do now? Any suggestions? Maybe I will go buy some new plugs. What kind do I buy?

Help me please.
I have a 2000 speedster.  My oil got low and started beeping.  I came home took off the cap and filled the big oil tank with premium plus.  Then I filled the small tank on top the engine till it overflowed.  I then tryed to start the boat but it will not turnover.
What do I do?
Also there is a long hose going over the engine from one side to the other.  It lays along the floor and it has a long thin filter on the end of it.  Did it come loose from something or has it always been laying there and I never noticed it.
Thanks in advance.  I'll hang up and listen to your answer.

I don't see why it would not turn over, unless you burned the engine by running it without oil! Another possibility is loss of oil pressure. You are not supposed to fill the second oil tank (the one towards the rear). By taking out the cap, you unpressurized the system. Oil should only be refurbished the normal way. Both oils tanks will balance out themselves.


The hose you refer to is OK. It is an engine syphon that sucks water into the engine if there is water in the bilge. That is what it's meat to do, an "automatic bilge pump" built in to the engine.

Can anyone tell me what I can do? It sounds like it is out of gas when I try to start it now. It has a full tank. It was starting just fine until I tried to change the oil.

Ok I see. I definatly have a loss of oil pressure then. I put in regular quicksilver premium oil before I realized it wasn't premium plus. So then I took the big oil container completly out of the boat and emptyed it. Then I filled it full of premium plus and put it back in. also I took the cap off the little oil container and poured about 1 cup of premium plus into it untill it was overflowing.
So how do I repressurize the oil now?
