OK, so I have a 1997 Johnson 150 Ficht motor, Was out on the lake last weekend and the boat went in to "slow mode" and I looked down and had seen the NO OIL light was on. Put the boat in to neutral and the light went out a few seconds later. took back off and was fine for two days. late on the 2nd day I figured I really had not run it much so I went out to run it and the same problem happened twice. in a short amount of time. I have plenty of oil in the tank and when it first starts you can deff smell that it is a 2-stroke. not that is smokes much just s lil puff. I checked oil at the pump on the engine at idle it did have oil coming out of the little test port. Any ideas?

Get a lap top put on it and see if you have any service codes.

The "No Oil" light is activated when the sensor on the oil pump does not sense the oil pump distributing oil. I would also agree it needs to be connected to the diagnostic software to confirm.

Could be a oil lift pump,oil injector,pressure regulator or pressure switch as I have replaced several of these...

so the boat is at a dealer in upsate NY and they have scanned it, havent told me codes yet but they did check oil pressure running it with muffs on it and it had good oil pressure they replaced the pressure sensor, took it out on the water today and has the same problem, they are going to check some filter which i think is just the screen in the oil tank. I bought an oil today and will probably be over nighting it to them tomorrow. I doubt that it is the screen in the oil tank.
