Hello there. A few questions, I have a 2006 sea doo challenger 180. Haven't taken it out in a few years. Last year lost key and had a new one made...(from a referred guy from a boat store) not from authorized sea doo dealer. Put new battery in...took out for test, none of gauges are working but drove and sounded good. About 30 mins into it, heard an alarm about 8 beeps then engine shut off. (my son was driving and I just told him to put lanyard to him and noticed he had on wrist the same time in a turn when engine made alarm. (None of the gauges were working. The side buttons worked fine- lights horn etc, but not the gas, rpm, speedometer or engine/4way. Turned off changed out fuses and still no gauges working but did notice the right side of the 4way warning gauge where it has oil,temp,eng,etc. Just the right side of that warning gauge ( i think it is the engine and temp side) came on when starting and then went off so I assume this is supposed to come on at start. We drove it around for about 45 mins and no more alarms etc. What im wondering is if the lanyard and new programmed key is having an issue? Does the left side of the warning gauge (battery and i think oil) supposed to come on as well then shut off when starting? If the lanyard was starting to come off or not sitting right, would that make that 8 beep alarm? Note: I think, if I remember right, the engine shut off by itself, not my son pulling the lanyard. Any help would be great! Thank You
