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?

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?
