| On my 2003 216 air nautique the low oil pressure alarm goes off as soon as I start the engine.Then after a few seconds it's gone. The boat is totally fine after that. Is the brief time the alarm is on a indicator of something worse? What should I do about it? |

Jim, Sounds like the alarm is doing it's job. Before the engine runs for those couple of seconds, there isn't any oil pressure.

| We've taken it to the boat mechanic and he has ran it and has replaced the oil pressure valve . No codes appeared on the computer. He told us to run it and watch it? Anybody else have a similar problem and how did you fix it? |

The pressure relief valve? Wow, that's a big job. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

| The oil pressure valve that's on the side of the engine is the thing he replaced. It was an easy thing to to do. |

Now that's easier. That's the pressure sender and not the pressure valve. What was the pressure gauge telling you? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

| The pressure gauge took a couple seconds to read normal and after that it was fine. Since we changed it, it only flashes once. Its alarm goes off for a much shorter period of time. |
