Now, we have an oil sensor problem similar to the above - about 40
minutes into a run the "no oil" light comes on and the engine locks
into SAFE mode - which by the way, is the coolest damn feature on any
outboard I've ever had. Now that I've seen it in action for real,
man, that is the neatest thing.

One more problem to solve and that's that. Interesting that there
seems to be a time component to this one also.

Pretty cool huh? :)


Now that clock problem would be a real "head scratcher". I haven't ever seen
anything like that. There is an internal ROM check in the EMM computer I
think should have caught that time discrepency, but I'm not a computer
engineer. That is one for the record books.

On your NO OIL signal, first the system has to be completely bled of any
air. Sometimes running the self-winterizing mode with help get rid of any,
refer to your owners manual. If it still continues, have your dealer tech
call the factory hotline about testing the oil pump output. Basically the
test consists of putting an air bubble in one line, and at 2000 rpm, the
pump stroke should move the oil about 1". Some pumps moved them less and
still lubricated the motor OK, but did not have the extra power that should
be there.
