Walters V Drive Oil Pressure Switch

Boat is a 99 SAN.

i believe my v drive oil pressure switch is bad. i'm wondering if anyone know of a replacement for this thing besides the $65 one from bakes. i'd also like to have it by the weekend. i would assume there would be an auto equivalent. i believe it is a 2 psi switch. anybody know if it's open or closed under pressure? it illuminates the 1200rpm dash warning light when no oil pressure is detected. i'm not cheap, but it's just a 2 pound switch.

i couldn't find it on nautiqueparts. i found it on skidim for $50. i'm wondering if i could find an equivalent locally.

btw, someone makes that switch and it should be easy to track down, try TMI 800-462-8848

it has 2 wires so it does not ground, its an inline switch, they are a problematic switch and every time I rebuilt a v-drive I would install a new switch, I don't remember them being that expensive.....try TMI 800-462-8848 ask for toni, put a new one on there for a piece of mind and post the price of the switch

Welcome back Eric. Way to subtly sneak back in. Hope all has been well.

yes, I have never dissected one, because, well because, maybe its like a spark plug, once fouled that's it. were off to a good start, I just saved you 30 bucks. lol

i'll be glad to send her off to you for a rebuild when the times comes. hopefully later rather than sooner, no offense lol.

for anyone that may come across this in the future, i ended up finding the switch locally at a napa truck & industrial. Exact same switch for $30 also. thanks for the contact, i put toni at TMI in my phonebook. glad to meet you and thanks a bunch for your help.

Pete, they had me on 7-12's and it literally kicked my assssss, I was on salary with a promise of year end bonus...that came and went, I threw my hardhat at the boss and I said "im done, do this *************** yourself" and walked away never looking back, they have a reputation for being a tough employer...they don't give *************** away and either do I, the boats are being penalized 2500.00 a day for being late, aint my problem, it took a while to convince myself to walk away because that's not my persona, but they fed off of that and I caught them off guard. I have many options on where to go next but the decision is killing me inside. where I really want to be is in Panama city at Eastern shipyard

I have a model RV 26D in a 91 BF.... 454... Hoping it's the same one
