Re: zero oil pressure, '09 mercruiser. HELP!

Re: zero oil pressure, '09 mercruiser. HELP!

Hello guys...I have a 2009 model 4.3 TKS mercruiser with a whopping 26 hours on it..I changed the oil and water separator. Took it out for the first time about an hour ago and now i have zero oil pressure. figured it needed time to build pressure so I let it run for about 30 seconds-1 minute. low pressure alarm still blaring. pulled the filter and it was bone dry...tried to run it for 30 seconds a pop about 4 or 5 times to no avail. Filled the filter with oil and still no help..what is going on?? Please help! I hope I did not damage it! I have no Idea how a simple oil change could result in this..

Hi there, First off you posted in the wrong forum, This is outboards, The I/O section is further down in the main page area.

To get started though, Tell us in detail how you changed the oil in your boat, From start to finish? Thanks.

Sorry about posting in the wrong forum..got a little excited I guess..

as for changing the oil, i did nothing out of the ordinary..

1) drained oil (it is equiped with the drain tube that is pulled through the drain plug)
2) replaced plug
3) removed/replaced oil filter
4) filled with reccommended oil (4 quarts, up to fill line on dipstick..did not overfill)

I have been performing routine maintenance in my vehicles for years..I am no mechanic, but do have a good working knowledge of motors (at least I thought I did!)

also, filter is the exact type as removed, and reccommended by mercury for my engine.
