Wouldn't be a new year without more issues 
starting to get used to it.
Googling it doesn't seem to bring up anything relevant.
If you missed it, right before Christmas the boat got towed in after a day on the water.
Turned out to be a fuel pump fuse.
The fuse have been replaced, but now it comes up with code
3161-16 Idle Air Control Valve "problem when trying to output a signal to this device"
This valve was replaced 2 years ago, and when it was bad, it wouldn't idle correctly. The difference this time is that it seems to have something to do with the fact that the fuel pump fuse blew and the motor idles perfectly normal.
Anyone ever run into this? Mechanic put me in the schedule for Feb and he's still coming to do a general overhaul/oilchange/inspection...but would love to be able to fix this to use it without a problem for the next 3 weeks!

Not sure why it would have gone bad when the motor stalled at 4k rpm.. but it appears it did.
Turned out the fuse for the fuel pump blew. Too bad I didn't even know one existed or where it was at that point, so I got towed in.
Someone pointed me to where there are three 10 amp fuses, one was blown.
Replaced it and immediately started throwing this code.
Replaced the valve and done, fixed, just like that.
Yes there were TWO beeps on startup and every few mins.
Definitely take a look, and buy some extras, would have saved me the time waiting for the tow.
