        <![CDATA[ I went out for the first time after a long winter, 2007  225Pro Xs   The alarm keeps going off  saying check engine and battery comes up on the smart guage. It
reads 11.4 volts. It wont let me get above 3000 rpm. According to my on board charger the battery is charged. What else to look for. Thanks.

			<description><![CDATA[ When I was at the OI, we were coming back from up river and my alt. belt broke. All of a sudden 3K RPMs was max and we ran 15 miles at that speed. Fortuanetly
we started back early. 100 yards from weigh in, she died...living right I guess cause we had a couple of good fish. Merc trailer was there and a bolt had
backed out allowing a pulley to eat into the belt. It was replaced. If battery is low the guardian system takes over but I&#39;m with Phil, go to the dealer
and you can eliminate... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Before you go make sure your connections are tight (plier tight) because loose battery connections can cause the Opti&#39;s to do some funky stuff. If the
dealership is not easy here are a couple of other things to try:
<br>
<br>
1. Change to a fresh battery.
<br>
2. Charge the battery with a portable charger.
<br>
<br>
I know it is a fairly new battery but they can and will lay down...especially if not charged and maintained over the winter.
<br>
<br>
I had a similar issue this fall and mine... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Your trim drew enough amps to pull the battery down to unsatisfactory level for the guardian system. I think you need to go and see a mechanic. It will take
out a lot of the headache you&#39;re going through. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Check the 20a fuse,cleaned the battery terminal and went back out and this time I could run up the RPMs but when I would hit the trim the alarm would go off.
Thanks again.

			<description><![CDATA[ It also could be the voltage regulator and/or alternator, and possibly the stator.
<br>
<br>
The fusable link often would not allow function at all.

			<description><![CDATA[ Scott is right and that part won&#39;t be under warranty. More than likely it happened exactly as Scott pointed out. You can charge that battery all day long
and bring it to full charge and within a very short time that battery will be down. The outboard&#39;s computer system can go through a lot of amps real quick!
Good luck with your problem. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ If the battery is only at 11.4 volts, it is not fully charged, but the engine alternator should bring it up. Since it continues to give you the alarm,
obviously the alternator is not charging.
<br>
<br>
My 07 ProXS did the same thing when I first got it and it was a blown fusable link in the charging system. If you unhooked the battery for winter storage and
then rehooked it, it&#39;s possible that it was hooked up backwards and shorted out that fusable link. That&#39;s what had happened to... ]]></description>
