If it is what I think it is, there is a sender switch that checks for restriction in the fuel system, and if you have a restriction, like a plugged filter, it will give you a fuel alarm. I know a guy with the identical motor, and he would get alarms all the time. He took it to the best Johnson mechanic I know, and they changed the switch, filters, and most everything else, tested it with a vacuum gauge, and could never get it to stay off. He pulled the wire, and the boat is running fine, and ignored it.

I have heard of a few other similar stories, and they were never able to get it to stay off, and disconnected it.
