Ok folks. I'm trying to make sure I'm not getting ready to screw up.
So I have a small oil leak that appears to be coming from the oil pressure switch. I cant seem to find the correct part number for the old switch. It looks like this:
The boat is a 2000 Crownline 182. 5.0 Mercruiser 2 bbl carb. The Engine S/N is OL61408? (the last number is unreadable) the transom S/N is OL807961
Here is the diagram: It seems that there are two and my old one looks like the bottom one (#11 in diagram) but I have now what looks like the top one.
The part number they gave me at the dealer is 87-864252A01 as shown below.
It looks different for sure and they said that is the correct part according to their documents.
So after all that here are the questions...
Is this the correct part ?
If it is which wires go where?
New switch wires are
1: Purple 2: Purple with yellow stripe.
Old switch is
1: Pink 2: Purple with yellow stripe.
So is it pink to purple and the two purple/yellow strip wires together?
Lastly is there anywhere else I can find the engine S/N. They guessed it as a "2" at the parts place.
Thanks for any input.
