Thread: Oil Pressure gauge on the Fritz????

  1. #1
    Cole Trickle
    After the rough water on Havasu this past saturday half way back from Moabi the oil pressure gauge would hover and then flat line. It did this quite a few times on the run back to cattail.
    Loose wire?
    Bad ground?
    Sending unit?
    Anybody else have a crappy OP gauge?:idea:
    Thanks!!

    We had a bad ground in the jetboat and the gauge quit altogether, so if it's still trying to work I would check to make sure all the wires have a good connection.

    Ok in all honesty here (I know hard to believe) I'd start checking the wires behind the gauge to see if somethings come loose. Next since your mechanically inclined you might wanna take the gauge out and either test it yourself or take it to someone to have it tested. I'd explain how to do it but I'm too lazy to type it out.
