Hey All
Just bought a new to us boat with a 1993 175 Evinrude E175DPXABB with about 145 hrs on it.
Took it out for our maiden voyage which was a cruse up the west coast of Vancouver at a nice steady 25 knots round trip was approx 5 hrs . Motor ran great over all . We did stop for a few min & fired back up & we’re just putting along in drive for a few min maybe 7-8 knots & I got a loud long 30 second or so beep & the low oil/no oil light on the dash came on.
I shut the engine off & checked the oil tank & it was full , pumped the primer bulb for the oil & it was rock hard….
Fired back up low/no oil light off & on our way at about 25 knots again , no issues….
Pulled into a marina to top up fuel & down to 5 knots or less coming up to fuel dock & it happened again…loud 30 second beep…the beep ended & I kept going to fuel dock but the red light low/no oil stayed on…
Checked the bulb again…rock hard…fired up low/no oil light off & we headed home with no other issues…
Few days later at 30 knots after approx 10 min , the long 30 second beep came on & the engine choked/sputtered…I shut it off & checked the oil tank , about 3/4 full..bulb rock hard…
Fired up low/no oil light off…back up to 30 knots for about 10 min , same exact issue..
Looking for some help/suggestions where & what I should check. We were planing on a summer of weekend adventures in this thing.
I can’t be taking my wife & kid out on this like this.
I have the boat out of the water on the trailer now , I bought some amsoil marine 2 stroke oil to replace the cheap 2 stroke oil the previous owner had in it . Is there any filters or sensors that I should be cleaning or possibly replacing ?
Any help of suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance !
