Hi,
As most boats do, ours has a warning buzzer to alert us if the engine overheats or the oil pressure drops. It also sounds when I turn on the engine key before the engine starts and oil pressure rises enough. It also sounds if I turn the key to run the fuel pump to bleed the fuel line after a filter change. While I do want notice of a problem, I hate that noise!
My solution was to cut the connecting positive wire and add a spade connector so I can easily unplug the buzzer when I don't want it to sound.
My young grandkids are also much happier when they're on board as they don't have to cover their ears any more.
As long as I remember to reconnect it after I unplug it, it should work perfectly!
