I have a 1997 Yamaha salt water series II 200hp engine. I had an issue with the alarm going off andthe mechanic changed the sensor In the tank on the engine. Seemed to fix theissue.

After a few trips here the alarm goes off again and Ilook at the tank on the engine and the level is at the bottom line. I pushed upthe switch to fill it and it did not seem to increase the level. Took the top off tank and added ail manually abovethe top line. Alarm still went off. Took out again and took off screen and movedfloat up and down with key on and it worked like it should have. Put mesh together but put sensor down realslowly and alarm did not sound. Ran for like 8 miles no issues. Take off the cover and the level is stillat/above the top line.

Question, what is going on? Lol How does this work only pumpwhen sensor gets to a certain point? I can’t figure out how to explain it.Help!!!
