I have a 1996 Sundowner 205, 5.1L, fuel injected engine.
Just pulled it out of (indoor) winter storage. The engine fired up just fine, in water no issues, power good, temp good. BUT the Oil Pressure Gauge is bouncing around. At idle it'll bounce between 50-30, under load it goes to 60+ and stays there, then after a few minutes starts to back down and then start bouncing around. between 60 and 30. At the dock it sometimes sits around 40 then starts bouncing again.
Oil pump? Gauge? Sender? It's the original Four Winns dash (so the trim gauge does not work)(despite a new sender)(wasted $$).
Anyone have any experience with this. Engine did not overheat, stayed below 150 the entire test run, which lasted about 30 minutes.
Thanks for any advice. I have lots to learn. Every year it' something new.
Mark
