'No Oil' Sensor Disconnect Question

[luckyinkentucky]

As previously stated in this post http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=222131 I am having problems with my 'No Oil' horn sounding when I get up to 5200 RPMs.

In lieu of being laid up with 'Feet Dry' tomorrow, I need to get out on the water for a little Striper fishing tomorrow since they are very active, and I fear tomorrow will be the last day I will be able to go for quite some time.

My question is this. I plan on taking the boat into the local Evinrude repair shop on Monday to have the problems described in the previous post fixed. Would I be ok to mix the 50:1 in my 41 gallon fuel tank, and disconnect the lead to the Oil Reservoir? If the oil reservoir is not the lead I need to disconnect then which one would it be to turn off the 'No Oil' tone? Also, is this safe to do as long as I have the premix 50:1 in my fuel tank?

I assume that as long as the 'Overheat' warning horn is working, which I will verify before leaving the house, that I will be ok to disconnect the 'No Oil' horn so that I can get some fishing in. Or, would I be better of to play it safe, and lay up tomorrow with an Oat Soda in the shade on dry land?

Someone please give me your opinion.

you would have to remove the oil line at the engine, and block it off, i use a short piece of line, and put a bolt in it. you don't want the oil side trying to pump air. and disconnect the plug. but, if it burns up, i didn't tell you this. thats, how i disabled the vro on my 93 40 hp.

I'm going to check my oil pickup before I do anything. A tech I called today said he has seen different oils react and cause the pickup filter to clog. If that's not the problem I will do what was suggested here.
