Hi
I picked up a 2002 Seadoo Challenger 2000 with the Mercury Optimax 250 MT JetDrive 3.0 L V6
Its the end of season here its not going in the water till spring.
Previous owner said there was a beeping on the lake it slowed down he got towed to shore.
He said he heard intermittent beeps. There was oil and fuel. I am hoping it is a sensor ? Any way to check without purchasing parts and just replacing sensors with fingers crossed ?
Well I started up the engine after charging the battery and after the initial Beep at startup there was not 4 beeps 20 seconds later.
I don't want to put it in the water to see if it does the 4 beeps again - maybe under load for me and maybe have to be towed in.

Came across this video
4 Beeps Diagnosis
The video shows how to test the oil sensor.
So replacing the sensor in this case does not solve the problem. You need to replace the tank.

During my research I am reading this engine is no different that an outboard powerhead put "in" the boat with a Jet Drive. So any water you put in is self draining. Is this true?
Thanks for any information
