The cap to the oil container under the engine cowling broke. The oil alarm went off. I made repair and refilled with oil. Now when I am running down the lake I hear a beep beep beep, then it stops . Then does the same thing every couple of minutes. Does anyone have any ideas about what this could be. Any suggestions soul be greatly appreciated.

Dwayne, with the engine idling, crack the cap very carefully and let the oil fill till it runs out then tighten the cap and get all the air out of it. That should stop it.

My guess is.... You refilled with the engine tilted. You got air in the oil line. You need to bleed the air off. Idling the engine might or might not do the trick. I recommend draining the oil (with the engine ALL the way down) and saving the oil. Wait.........then refill with the MANUFACTURERS recommended amount.
Next step would be a check by a qualified Mechanic. A repair is cheaper than a rebuild.
