While pulling into my slip yesterday at the end of a two hour motoring trip that (thanks to zero wind), my oil pressure alarm “chirped”. This only happened at idle while in gear.
With all lines fast and with the engine still running, I put it in gear, revved the engine a little and the chirping stopped. Then back to idle, in gear same chirp. I put the boat in neutral and no alarm chirp at idle?
I use the word “chirping” because the buzzer sounds a solid tone with the ignition on before starting the engine. This was a very slight, intermittent buzz.
I checked the oil before starting the day (as always) and it was spot on.
Any ideas in what it could be? A bad sender maybe? A loose ground?
Thanks for your input!
