Boat only has about 20 hours on each (twin 200s) of the engines. I've seen quite a few "check engine" posts, so thought I'd see if any thoughts/suggestions.
Symbol shown in thumbnail pic, appeared yesterday while returning to dock. Only received symbol and couldn't find a fault code. Boat still seemed to run great - any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks

There is almost always an active fault code with that light. But there are a few where you can have a light because of a PAST active code and you can't see it anymore. So if you are absolutely sure there are no active codes, then there's no way to know without plugging into the dealer software (BUDS) or using the aftermarket consumer option Candoo Pro. Otherwise, you're blind to the problem. Could be something like mine once, a temporary short circuit in my fuel sender when I disconnected/reconnected it. Zero boat issues, just stuck with the light. But it could have been something else.

Thanks - any suggestions on how to determine what it (the code) is? Boat's about 10-15 minutes from my house, so planning to go down in the next day or two and do some further research.
 
If it's there, it often flashes across the screen on startup. Otherwise it's in the settings. But I don't have the fancy dash like yours. So I don't know where exactly.
