8.1L Crusader Check Engine Light and Alarm
#3
I vote faulty cam shaft sensor.

Had a similar problem on my 2003 35' Open w/8.1 Crusaders.  Alarm would go off around 3100 RPMs, ironically, also on the starboard engine.  No problems below 3100 RPMs.  Nothing sounds worse than that buzzer when on a trip.

Code reader indicated cam shaft sensor.  Replaced the sensors on both engines, relatively inexpensive, and have not had a problem since (3-4 years ago).
