    Oil Alarm going off with '98 Yamaha ProV150 two stroke

    This may be unrelated, but maybe not??? Right now I have no power to the stereo or the nav lights, or the fish finder. Could that possibly be related? (BTW, those electrical items did work before. Not sure of the timing of when they lost power to when the alarm starting going off) could have...

    Oil Alarm going off with '98 Yamaha ProV150 two stroke

    Well, not sure what I have for a thermostat. The first picture is the gauge before the alarm goes off. After about 5 minutes running, the alarm goes off, but the gauges look exactly the same, only the green light on. When I had it on the lake, the water pressure gauge read about 12psi. I...

    Oil Alarm going off with '98 Yamaha ProV150 two stroke

    OK, got it. (Keep in mind that I have never owned an outboard motor before). So when the upper tank inside the cowling uses oil, does it automatically pump oil into the upper tank from the lower tank, to keep it at the right height? If the lower tank gets lower than 5 quarts, does the oil buzzer...

    Oil Alarm going off with '98 Yamaha ProV150 two stroke

    Just bought the boat. Took it out and it ran pretty good for a few days, then the alarm went off, and the power cut way back. I checked the main oil reservoir under the hatch, and it was about 1/2 full. This tank looks to be about 2 gallons. The reserve tank under the cowling is at the full...
