Hello everyone
I was out fishing, dumped the boat in the lake, engine started up from cold just fine. I let it warm up, and went to my fishing spot. No problems. I shut it off at the fishing spot, and fished for like a couple of hours. I only got one (it was a big one tho) so I decided to move to another spot (what else should I do). I started it up, and a few seconds later I got one beep and a low oil pressure light. I didn't want to eat a rod bearing or piston for lunch so I turned it off right away. Sounded absolutely normal when the oil pressure light came on. Anyways, I went ahead and let it sit for a minute or so (thought maybe there was an air bubble somewhere?) and checked the oil level. Amber colour oil, right in between the two marks. Well, I was pretty far away from my car, so I decided to give it another shot. Started up fine and no oil pressure light. Several trouble less trips later, this repeated itself. So what is wrong here? Maybe it is because my engine is trimmed in too much? Also I heard of engines making oil. Is mine prone to this, and how would I go about fixing it if it happened? Compression is 175 on all cyl's. 460 hours. sds did not show any active faults.
thanks
