so i recently made a thread about issues not revving out, i did the first splash this season tonight with it and im up from 3600 rpm to 4000rpm. so ive got some improvement there, but the alarm randomly goes off. there doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason, coolant temp at 175, oil pressure 40+, gear oil full. i eliminated the out drive reservoir, which i believe leaves me with just the oil pressure and coolant temp alarms, at 1 point tonight the alarm was going off as soon as i started the engine. i started playing with wiring and starting it, which is how the gear oil reservoir was eliminated. next i went to the blue wire which was coming off the oil sender, all that did was kill my oil pressure gauge but alarm still sounding. there was a connector coming off the T for the oil switch with a purple/yellow wire and another wire ( cant remember what color, it was dark and i was in the middle of the river) i tried to disconnect it to see if alarm died but i couldnt get the connector off, so i started checking wires down the harness, found a connector on top of the intake manifold with a purple/yellow wire and another wire, it just had a orange cap on it connecting the 2 wires i assume, i removed the cap and started it with no cap, alarm was off, reconnected the cap and alarm stayed off.... drove it back to the marina with no issues. i dont have any pics as i didnt think of it till it was to late, but does anyone know if that connector with the orange cap is associated with the oil pressure system or if it was just a coincidence that the alarm went off
