Hi Guys
Here is the facts 1998 150 Faststrike. Everything is as it came from the factory. Just bought it. I am going over everything before putting it in the water. Plan on changing lower gear oil. water pump, cleaning it up. I have premixed before so no problem. I like oil injection system. I read the link on the VRO system Sounds good. Questions are. If the flow of oil stops and the alarm goes off do you have enough time to shut down before engine damage.
Is the no oil flow sensor relieable or is it oh we replace them all the time! I was told by a dealer on a boat my age the VRO may need to be replaced at a cost of around 400.00 or to disconect it and premix. whats the expected life of a VRO and do you run them until they quit. I know engines are not cheap. And if I can do something now to make things last longer without spending 400.00 I would like to do it. If I do disconect the VRO can someone direct me in the right direction as what to unplug and not to. as I want all other alarms to keep working. Steve
