    Hey guys I just joined this forum in order to hopefully solve my problems. I saw the title of this thread and I think you guys might be able to help me. I have a 200hp 89' suzuki on my ski boat. The boat is saying that the oil filter is clogged but it isn't, I checked it. Every time i go to take off the boat backs down and the alarm goes off.

    My question is: Is there any chance that the line is busted or my dad thought that there may be a fuse for that specific line? Any help wold be greatly appreciated.
