    4.3L MPI 2007 Searay Sport 185. Single Alarm at 20 RPMs and higher

    No, just needs to tighten up Bummer, really need a scanner, otherwise were guessing. Your boat has 2 oil pressure senders, 1 for the gauge and one for the ECM and they do not talk to each other. The gauge can read ok, but the ECM might see low pressure. I'm still puzzled by the motor dying...

    The water switch is the number one failure on these motors. With it disconnected it tells the ECM there is zero pressure

    4.3L MPI 2007 Searay Sport 185. Single Alarm at 20 RPMs and higher

    In neutral of in gear? Wait your on a trailer and 2000 RPM, Ahhh the plot may be thickening Your motor has a water pressure switch on the power steering cooler. When the engine RPM's increase over 1800 the pressure must be high enough or the ECM will alarm and decrease RPM's to save the motor...

    4.3L MPI 2007 Searay Sport 185. Single Alarm at 20 RPMs and higher

    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...

    4.3L MPI 2007 Searay Sport 185. Single Alarm at 20 RPMs and higher

    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
