" I have a 94 2.5l 175 mercury
" I have a 94 2.5l 175 mercury on my offshore boat. It has an intermittent alarm going off indicating an oiling problem. It "seems" to be oiling fine and it only starts beeping if I'm in some pretty nasty seas(pounding a bit) I checked the oil cap for the float to see if it was hanging up but it seems to be free. The motor smokes a bit at idle as always even when the alarm is going off. By the time I trailer the boat and start the fresh water rinse, the alarm is off and I can't troubleshoot it to a component level(level or pressure) Any great ideas from the merc God's here? I'm about to be tired of it and although it runs great, I may turn to a four-stroke Yami to rid myself of this mix malfunction. Thanks for any help you guys may be able to give, Bill "
