Oil Buzzer Going Off

[Basscatman]

Went out yesterday and just before coming in, was running in some roughter water and crossed a wake from a 40 ft cruiser. Jumped the wake and after that, my oil buzzer started going off. This is the buzzer that goes off if I let the oil get too low in the reservoir- the tank is 2/3 full. I havent had time to look to deep yet. Is there a sensor that could come loose in the tank? Anywhere else I should be checking?

Thanks!

Mine did the same thing, but I found that the cao on the reservoir in the boat had come loose and lost the pressure. Yours might be the sensor, but redo the cap first!!!

I dont think you have a sensor in the remote tank…The sensor is in the small reservoir under the cowling…That is if you have a Mercury…The cap being loose and loosing pressure could be the problem…If this is the case you will probably have some oil on the motor…This happened to me last year…

Usually it is the engine reservoir a little low. Try popping the cowling and you can fill the reservoir.

If you are on the water here is another fix: Loosen the cap and run the engine at a little higher RPM than Idle. That puts crankcase pressure in the lower reservoir and fills the upper reservoir, without the restriction on the upper tank.

Then replace the upper cap securely.

The lower tank runs from crankcase pressure and the upper runs from the gear drive to the engine.

If you have a digital system since 2003 models wtih SC gauges, it could also be the lower oil level. Sicne BCB uses a sending unit on the oil tank and monitors the level on that set up.

If that doesn’t get it, then you have other issues on the alarm and it could be many things.
