Audible Alarm

Hello all,
New season new problems!!!
I have developed an audible alarm on my 2003 Rinker FV 342. It's strange. There is no consistency to it. When I start my motors I get the standard tone when you first turn the key on. When I start my starboard motor I get a quick tone then it starts when I turn the key, the port motor does not. My volt meters never get above 13 volts when the motors are running. As I power attempt to get on plane the system drops to about 11 volts and I get an audile alarm which is sometime solid and sometimes not. As I back down from about 3000 rpms on the motors the alarm quits sounding. The rinse and repeat as I go up it does the same thing. It is frustrating because all of my other gauges are spot on. I have pulled my alternators and had them bench test and the are sold 14.2 volts. I think my gauges are messed up but would that cause the alarm.

You probably have the usual Faria analog gauges, so a gauge problem would not cause an alarm.
I had never even considered the isolator is there a way to test them? The batteries are new this year so that h as been eliminated as a possible problem.
