Hello,
I have a 2006 340 Sportsman, it has twin 8.1 Mercruiser (inboard) motors. I noticed the port side motor had developed a decrease in oil pressure. Typically, both motors are at ~50 psi @ 3200 RPM's and then drop to about 20-25 PSI at Idle. The port motor started indicating ~20 PSI at 3200 RPM's and then below 5 PSI at idle. The alarm will then sound until I throttle up a bit to get it out of the alarm low pressure range. It will continue to indicate 10-15 PSI lower than the STBD motor at idle after that but with no alarm. I changed the oil and filter and that seemed to solve the issue for a few trips out but it is now doing the same thing.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
Harry
