You mind checking this video out that is on the ebay listing - he just relisted it. There are some things with the oil pressure that I don't understand - you mind giving me your opinion? Thanks, Pete

    Hey Pete! I changed the video a little bit about the oil pressure but let me explain what I just did an awful job of explaining in the video. I replaced the oil sender last year. This little sensor is what screws into the side of the engine block and measures the pressure of the oil in the engine. It then sends this "signal" up to the gauge on the dash which will display the pressure there. Now, I started getting low oil pressure alarms and my dash gauge would drop to zero after I came to idle after WOT(Wide Open Throttle). So I thought I would kill two birds with one stone here. First I needed to know for sure that it was just my oil pressure sensor that was bad and secondly I wanted to display in the video the actually oil pressure so you would know that you are getting a boat that actually runs!
    So, in order to hook up the manual oil pressure gauge, you have to disconnect the sensor going to the dash gauge so when you do that, the dash gauge will read zero. I brought attention to this in the video because I didn't want people to notice the gauge and say that I have an engine issue. Believe me, if I had zero oil pressure in that engine, you would have heard some pretty loud banging and knocking!

    I just did a shipping quote on uship. com. The median price they gave me was $1,400. Thats about $900 more than my out of pocket expenses for my trip down an back with one night in a hotel (and lots of Inn-n-out!!).
    As for the day off work I took off, I was over due for one so I won't count the PTO.
    Just putting that out there for thought.
