Hi, So I was out on my boat yesterday and although it ran fine, the oil pressure gauges-both on the flybridge and below on the inside helm dash were sometimes their usual settings (about seventy five) but sometimes just dropping to zero or twitching around, or staying at forty for a second then going back up, etc. Very fast twitch, stay there for a few seconds, go to some other number. Sometimes it would stay at the usual place for a five minutes at a time.
I have just changed the oil and filter, and checked it, and have enough.
So, because they both were twitchy I was thinking it wasn't the gauge(s), but maybe the oil pressure sending unit? Or switch? Where are they, and what do you all think? Thanks!
