Got them Westerbeke Blues.... I have a common problem with my 7.2BCGTC where it only runs with the preheat depressed. I am trying to rule in/out the oil pressure sensor/switch, so I ordered the part that it is supposed to be https://www.westerbeke.com/Product/SWITCH/037323

However, this is a two-pole switch, and it agrees with all the Westerbeke documentation, but the sensor on my actual unit is a single pole. Same threaded receiver end, but only one pole.

The 037323 is a supersede of an older switch, but I cannot find any diagrams or documentation on that switch. Anyone see this before? Any thoughts on how to address?

Westerbeke will actually talk to you if you call them. Another source is Flounder Pounder marine in Florida. Nice guys, and they actually discount (somewhat) WB parts.
 
I agree with 370, give them a call. They have been great t work with
