I have a 2003 200 EFI and Saturday when drift fishing I started getting a chirp from the alarm when shifting from forward back into neutral. A couple of times there was a slight grinding noise. Once it almost acted as if the engine might try to stall for a split second. I was 30 miles offshore so decided I better head in just in case. I ran in at 4800-4900 RPM's and everything was fine. Back inside at the marina I shifted it in and out numerous times without any noise or alarms. Has anybody experienced anything similar or have any ideas. The powerhead was just rebuilt 25 hours ago and has run perfectly. I have not been able to check the lower unit oil yet but it was just changed as usual with Merc premium plus. Thanks for any help.
