Im getting an oil warning horn, that is caused by the sensor that
monitors the drive shaft rotation, in which the plastic worm gear has
failed. (a mercury known problem, SVC. BLTN. 2000-10) I've got a
scheduled appointment at the dealer, but its not for another month away.
I was told by Merc that I could run the boat, if I premixed the gas and
oil. I was also told by merc that I could disable the warning buzzer but
clipping the wire atop the secondary oil tank on the motor. (not the 2
gallon reserve tank) I dont believe this, as all that sensor monitors is
oil level, and the secondary tank has oil in it. I believe there is a
secondary sensor that monitors the drive shaft rpm's, and thats what I
need to clip. Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Larry?

I wouldn't cut any wires. There should be a connector you can unplug.
I agree if the computer is detecting this error from missing sensor
pulses, I am not sure cutting any wire will make it go away unless it
is just indicating low oil level in the tank. Those sensors used to go
bad a lot. Does this just sound the beeper or is it also degrading
performance? You may be able to unplug the beeper. The disable
function is harder to work around.
