1997 Proline - 1997 Evinrude 150. I am working on a "project boat" recently purchased with no information from the previous owner. One of the problems I am having is a "no oil" alarm. Alarm goes off right after I start the engine for 10 seconds. "no oil" light comes on and stays on. On this model, this signifies a VRO problem only. Previous owner bypassed the VRO system and was using pre-mix. I verified that both the oil level sensor and VRO sensor connections were disconnected. My problem is that the alarm is sounding with the connection to the VRO disconnected. So I have to assume it is a short in the wiring between the gauge and the VRO connection, or a faulty gauge. The previous owner just disconnected the gauge and ran the boat without the engine or overheat alarm functional. I could order a new gauge for $40 and it might be the problem, or it would not resolve if it is a short. I would like to just clip the wire at the gauge, but can not find a wiring diagram for gauge connections. SELOC does not show it.
Anybody know which wire to clip, and would that work?
thanks
