My Formula runs the windlass from the house Bat. It uses 2 switches and 1 main power solenoid. Flip main switch and it energizes the solenoid right off the house Bat switch to the windlass. The other helm switch is the UP/DOWN DPDT
Wiring shows 3 wires on the shift switch and 2 wires on the in gear
The in gear switch should be closed when in neutral and open when in gear. Disconnect the switch and use a ohm meter to check continuity
If no meter try this but need to do this in open water
Put in gear going forward then...
Don't pay any attention to those codes, not part of your motor
2000 RPM with alarm, sounds like the In-Gear switch.
Disconnect the switch on the shift plate and take it for a ride to see if it's gone. The Bravo drive has only the one switch
A valve not seating correctly will be a loss in compression but will not put more pressure into the block. If a valve seal is missing or damaged, this will cause burning of oil but still nothing inside the block
The rebuild was not done correctly.
Blow by is caused by the rings not seating. The cylinders should have been bored with new oversized pistons installed. If if was just honed and new rings with old pistons then this could cause it
Tell us more about what was done during rebuild?
One side of the lights should have 12V and the other side will be grounded by the oil pressure switch or Alternator. With key ON should see 12V on only one side, if ground is not being applied to the other then you will see 12V on both sides of the bulb
Might be ok
With key ON and motor not running, there is no oil pressure and ALT is not working. Oil and ALT light would be ON along with beeper. Once motor starts, oil pressure comes up and ALT starts working and everything turns OFF

No not simple.
There is a coil, slave relay, trim relays on and around the motor which have exposed terminals. Gas fumes are heavier then air. Your taking a bit of actual info and expanding on it to meet your story.
