"I have a 2001 Yamaha 115 4 stroke, on the digital display there is a bar that flashes above the oil symbol on the gauge. The other day it started flashing, no alarms and the oil was about 1/2 up on the dipstick. When I shut it down and started it back up it went off and never came back on.

What is that flashing bar above the oil symbol?"

"Paul, I have a 200 Yam 2 stroke, it had the same issue last year. The gauge started to show lower levels of oil, instaed of a green light it would jump down to yellow and occaisionaly to red. I drained the oil resevoir and changed the filter on the tank. Then ran the oil through a painters filter before dumping it back in the tank. There was enough jell and small bits of debris in the oil to partially plug the filter/oil line and give false readings. My boat is 17 years old and the tank has been in there since the first 200 yam, a 1992. I'm careful with the oil so was surprised to see how much crap was in there. Rollie"
