This version of the TRB diagram is probably the closest you'll get for the engine wiring with your PMGR starter. The wiring for the Red check engine light isn't shown, since it wasn't on his boat probably

I’m finally going to the lake this weekend… I’m going to disconnect the leed to see if the light stays off? If it does I will change out the switch. Is the switch higher than any oil in the block, or can I expect oil to leak out of the block when the switch is out?
Happy Labor Day Everyone! |

Took Lead off....no light! Original switch has a bolt to hold the lead on...new one has a screw...Has anyone ever cleaned the switch? I haven't taken it out yet, but was curious how it works and if it can be cleaned up?

Here's a link to a YouTube video complete with a cutaway of an oil switch. The title says "Oil sending units explained, but he's really explaining an oil pressure switch Be nice to your boat, just replace the switch

I am flying lot! I just put the Lyman to bed...the Nautique will be 2 weeks out. I am going to take it off and clean it to see if I can keep it all original!
I will let you know...I will try to clean and reinstall the switch prior to pickling for the winter!

The saga continues
You already have the new switch, just put it in. That poor old "original" switch cycled itself every time you turn the engine on and off. if your oil is cruddy enough to plug the old switch, you probably have other things to worry about

Otto! How unsatisfying! Going to clean the old switch... then putting the boat away? sigh.....
Ok - So I'll give you an update on my fix: Ski 176 drives great and Red Light off after the oil switch replaced; ready for another 25 years and hundreds of hours!
Woot! |
