    Apparent low oil pressure after coming off plane

    This was in the water, me standing in the engine bay -- same side as the dipstick.

    Apparent low oil pressure after coming off plane

    Also, wanted to show the dipstick. Is it overfilled?

    Apparent low oil pressure after coming off plane

    Got it. So on your engine, one switch cuts the fuel pump, the other switch, in another location, operates the alarm.

    Apparent low oil pressure after coming off plane

    It is a an early 2000's for sure, probably the first generation to be honest. Looking at the engine head on, the oil pressure sender is located on the back right, under the exhaust manifold. Would the oil pressure switch be on the bottom side of the block too, or on the top side?

    Apparent low oil pressure after coming off plane

    Good question, texting my mechanic now. What oil SHOULD have been used? I will take a trip down there to try to look for the pressure switch again.

    Apparent low oil pressure after coming off plane

    I have a new to me boat that has a 6.2L MX MPI Mercruiser engine. Upon a cold start, the oil pressure gauge shows 35-38PSI. Once warmed up, it settles at about 20PSI. I cruise at about 3500RPM, and while cruising, oil pressure reflects 30-35PSI. However, I noticed when I get off plane when...

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    I think the work around you described is actually what was done on my engine, and outlined in the screenshot prior?

    I will also verify this too — thanks!

    I will test and report back

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    Thank you. Do you happen to have the ability to screenshot the diagram of how it should be routed so I can verify?

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    I will check and report back. Just to confirm I am understanding this test here, I am to remove the lower shift cable arm from the bracket, then pull/push it with two fingers, and it should move like butter, correct?

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    Roger that about the Bravo ECU. Could you clarify your latter point about the dragging. Are you saying the lower shift cable is likely dragging/has resistance, and likely holding the switch down for longer than necessary?

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    I believe it’s using an Alpha ECU, but will have to double check. I believe it is wired to ground the coil per this screenshot’s instructions.

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    Same mechanic that installed the transom plate, gimble and engine. The cable is SEI. Where should I be checking for binding?

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    Will do. I can do that in the water, correct? If there is, what is the solution? I would be surprised because the lower cable is brand new.
