Oil Pressure Sender failure modes?

[dingbat]

A pressure sender has a strain gauge, piezo sensor, or some other means of measuring strain on a diaphragm to convert into an electrical resistance.

Would require additional circuitry. Most work the same principal as a liquid level sending unit.

the free jet ski will cost you plenty of money.

did you get a remote for the lift? we talked about that almost 3 years ago.

however for the easy sensor. I use the oil pressure switch feeding my fuel pump for the oil pressure signal. its a 10 psi on rise and 7psi falling switch IIRC. the NO side for the relay, and the NC side for the alarm. I use a 220F temp switch for the block coolant temp, and I use the switch contacts in my oil temp sender for the oil temp side (250 F) . using one of teh $15 dash mounted light/horn deals

Erin should be far enough off shore not to worry.

I am aware. project with the boy. figured it would be relatively simple, carb'd 2 stroke, right? "all it needs is a battery". and then sea doo entered the chat.

still in the planning stages

interesting. hadn't thought to do that. wondering how annoying that alarm would be in practice.

anything off shore the winds get funneled up the river. maybe nothing, but I won't be there to monitor. I won't be upset if I over prepared.

you get the alarm at key on until there is oil pressure when cranking. I did install an alarm silence button.

LOL. if you have good compression, the rest is fairly easy.
