I just bought a used 1990 sprint 266 bass boat with a 1990 Mercury 115 hp outboard motor (2-stroke).
A couple times when I have turned the key to the accessory position (where the electrical system is engaged but before the engine turns over), I get a high-pitched, sustained tone. Is this a warning tone? There are no warning lights on the instrument panel, so I am a little lost/concerned.
The noise can start when I first turn the key or when I begin to start the engine after drifting on the lake for a while. The engine seems to be running fine and the noise generally stops after a few minutes of driving.
Any ideas?

you have air bubbles in your oil line, the tone is to alert you of loss of oil to the engine..... if it is a stutter tone... not continous, its probably air bubbles in the remote oil tank and they are getting into your oil line... a steady tone indicates loss of oil flow completely to the engine.. STOP if it does that.
Once i took the wrong cap off my oil tank and plled the one off that had the oil hoses in it, and got air in my lines, man it took forever to get all that air out. There is a air bleeder screw on the side of the engine where the oil line connects, that can be used to bleed the air off while the engine is running.
Easiest thing for me was to add some oil to the gas tank so i wouldnt damage the engine, then i ran the boat down the lake at about 2/3 throttle for about 10 miles and finally enough oil was pushed the lines to get rid of all the air.
Good luck man, i know what a headache these types of issues are on a boat.

You go onto the property of people next door, on the property behind the property ( you tresspass on thier property to look onto the other property) And you basicly told the police too much also, you merely should have told them that the boat was stroed at ..... address and it is missing, and file a report for a stolen boat. But at this point you sue them for the value of the boat.

Thats a test to tell you that it's working. If it comes or when running that stop.If you have oil enjection then thats than it testing it self.
