How to test alarms and safeties on 1995 Mercruiser 4.3LX V6

[averagemercruiserfan]

I am scoping through a manual that I found that is for my engine and before i put my boat back on the water again I wanna make sure any alarms or safeties are working properly. The manual just says

"Maintenance inspection is the owner’s responsibility and must be performed at intervals specified, following: Fresh Water Areas - Every 50 Hours of operation or 60 days (whichever comes first) Salt Water Areas - Every 25 hours of operation or 30 days (whichever comes first)

NOTE: Operation in salt water is considered severe service. 1. Check buzzer mounting screws, heat switch and oil pressure switch for adequate tightness. Tighten, if loose, but DO NOT over-tighten. 2. Check all wiring connections to be sure that they are tight and sealed where necessary

I wanna test to make sure the alarm actually goes off though and maybe check the accuracy of the oil pressure sending unit. Anyone have any advice?
