No Oil Pressure

Are we trying to get rid of the 'junk"?

I have a conversion for a Yanmar to Bravo OD. The BII would be the recommended drive. It's for swapping a gas for diesel or even putting a BII outdrive for your Yanmar. The BII can use up to a 22" prop so there's a lot of advantages for swapping both ways.

The conversion consists or the exhaust riser extension to the transom and the flywheel adapter plate with coupler.

Thanks for replies. It's not the gauge. I swapped the gauge with starboard enine and the problem stay with the port engine. The alarm doesn't sound. I plan on checking out the wiring. I just thought someone may have had similar problem.

I did have a similar problem, now my engine is sitting on a stand in the garage with at least one spun bearing and a few collapsed lifters. Don't trust the gauge and don't assume you have pressure just because the alarm does not sound, mine didn't either and neither did the low oil pressure shut down. Spend a few bucks and buy a manual pressure gauge you can hook up and check if you really do have pressure, then you will know you actually have oil pressure, rite now you are assuming you do..........D.......
 
D, How old, or how many hrs did that engine have? Spun bearings can quickly start eating the crank. There will be metal particles through-out the engine if it gets that far. Gotta open all the oil galleys.

I agree with going with mechanical gauges whenever possible.
 
168 hours, slightly different cause, but the point is, make sure you have pressure, dont assume...........D........
