As soon as the engine starts, the huge red warning light in the center of the dash comes on -- in the manual it says this is an early warning indicator for either high temperature (water???) or low oil pressure (gee, that's a big help correct craft) -- however, both water temp and oil pressure guages appear to be reading acceptable levels -- oil pressure is 40psi at idle and water temp is not over 140 when warmed up...this temp seems low to me so I wonder if it is measuring accurately??<br /><br />However, since the warning light comes on immediately even when the engine is cold, I wonder if it could be low oil level (appears to be down a quart) .. the PCM manual that came with the boat sucks...it doesn't even tell me where the dipsticks are for the fluids (help?). <br /><br />The engine has about 220 total hours on it and is the PCM Engine Model PLL TBI 5.7L 275Hp (I've been told its a chevy 
) anybody know where I could get a more detailed manual online?<br /><br />...I'd also like to know how to check the tranny filter screen...the last time this engine was serviced ... the knuckleheads left the fliter screen out of the sherwood in-line filter so that may or may not have contributed to what the problem is.<br /><br />Does anybody know exactly what that "idiot" light measures and where the sensors are located??? I could then pull the sensors one at a time and see what is triggering the light if anything. Lastly, the engine purrs like its brand new, so no help there...<br /><br />Thanks for any help you can give...great forums...John.
