 Topic: Oil gaugePosted: March-29-2012 at 2:10am |
|
Took my boat out for the first time this year. Oil gauge was showing no preasure. Checked everything out everything was good. Ran it for a little while then gauge bottomed out the opposite direction. My first thought is something is wrong with gauge. Any advice?

First check the 12 volt connection on the gauge. It sounds like this may be intermittent. If good, remove the wire from the sender at the engine and ground it to the block. If the gauge pegs max, the gauge is good and the the sender may be bad. Make sure you do not have any type of pipe thread sealer where the sender is screwed in. That's the ground source for the gauge.

I called the service department @ buxton marine. They told me to check the digital gauge by pressing the m button on the hours gauge. It was reading perfectly.

This is where good info from the start is very important. We had no idea what boat or gauge you had. I assumed it was an analog. Sorry! |

No problem. I appreciate the help. I'm sure I will have many more questions. Just got the boat @ the end of last season.

Here is one, one of my ballast pumps is making a louder not so good sound when I turn it on. Is there any type of maintenance Icahn do for the pump other that changing the impellers in them.

What does pressing the "M" button do. I've got a 2004 SV211, so digital guages (so I'm told). Does it run the guages through a test?
I recently "fixed" a fuel guage issue just by diconnecting and re-connecting the wires, and now am on to trying to get the ballast guages to work, but that takes either pulling the senders out, or being out on the water. Some quick test to see if they actually move would be good. Does the "grounding" of the sender wire test work with a digital guage? |

On my 2006 220 I have two digital gauges underneath the speedometer and my rpm gauge. There is a "m" button underneatheach digital gauge witch stands for "menu". By pressing m it allows you to leave it on different setting. The digital display on the far left allows you to leave it on hours, volts of your battery, oil pressure, and engine temp. The only gauge that it doesn't have on digital also is fuel.

No oil pressure by the gauge? Check to see if you have 12 volts nominal going to the gauge. If in question,it's best to check it by tapping in a mechanical next to the sender. |

Sorted, blue wire had come off the back of the gauge.
All the wires in the loom at the back of the dash are really tight and if the loom is disturbed connectors pop off. |
