Okay, folks I'm back. RosieB12 is running fine after several two hour trips up/down river. Both oil pressure guages, which range from 0-80 lbs, usually run in 40+ range, never quite to 60 as recommended by a manual left by the prior owner. Engines sound good and are running cool. Today at only 2600 rpm's the stbd guage began jumping around and dropped to about 32. So, as I started to panic, I slowed it down to 2000 rpm and the needle steadied down at it's usual 40+ level. Rather than risk a disaster upriver I ran the port engine at 3000 rpm and left the stb at 2000. The same read-out was happening at both steering stations. Anyone have any ideas what's happening and what I should do about it? Thanks.
