While running our 2005 260 Dancer over the weekend my oil pressure gauge started dropping and it tripped the alarm and cut the propulsion as i came to a slow speed. shortly after the gauge read zero.
I shut off motor and got towed back to my slip just to be safe.
once back at the dock, i located the oil pressure sensor and when i pulled the plug, my gauge shot back up to half at the 50 mark and the alarm shut off.
has anyone had this similar situation ? could it be a bad sensor and a swap could fix this ?
i just had the oil changed 2 weeks ago and there was no oil in the bilge and motor ran fine, even started back up fine
