- A neighbor has a - new to him - boat at the docks. Symptom:
- oil temp
- Does he have the exhaust chock open? Is he pumping water.
- Some oil pressure guages read when the resistance increases (result of heat); and others react the reverse way.
- Troubleshoot with non-electrical gauges.
- It could be a mismatch between senders and gauges.
- He could also ask the PO for suggestion
