So, I think this is what I'm hearing. To sum it up when I turn ski off and detach the key I can still hear a whirring sound from the front and a faint rapid clicking sound from the back.
It started a few weeks ago. I took it out and got a random CEL. brought it back in, took the key out and back in. CEL was gone. Figured must've been a fluke. Went back out for a few to make sure. No issues. When I got it back on the trailer it seems find but I later noticed that the display wasn't turning off and it was beeping 4 times intermittently. I had things to do so I figured what the heck I'll come check it out again when I get back. When I got back it finally stopped... everything seemed normal. The next day I started it up, no issues. A couple days after that I put it in the water, battery completely dead. Took it back and hooked it up to my battery conditioner, put it on trickle charger for a while. Starts up fine again. But I also am noticing those intermittent mechanical sounds which I can only assume is what killed the battery in the first place. Brought it to my local guy, he says "one of my computers isn't turning off' I can only assume it's probably MPEM? They made it sound like they couldn't diagnose which it was and suggested just throwing a switch on the battery. Thoughts? Is there anything else I can do here? Or should I just go with installing a switch and hope for the best?
