2000 Four Wins 210. 5.7 l engine. The low oil pressure alarm sounds constantly. Pressure has been checked and is good. Sending unit replaced with no improvement. A dealer says replace instrument cluster for $1000.00 plus labor. Any suggestions appreciated. Jim S.

The alarm is on a pressure switch, the gauge is on a sender.

Mercruiser engine ???

What exactly is saying oil pressure rather than something else? oil switch . . . temperature switch . . . and possibly gear lube switch could sound alarms.

Why would dealer want to replace the instrument cluster? :noidea: probably has nothing to do with the issue.
