Oil pressure

[cguse13]

Ok I never get to start the boat it seams. But this weekend I was in the driver seat and when I started the boat on the tac it popped up mow oil pressure for about 3 sec. While pressure gauge came up. Is this normal ? Btw new boat to us but 05 210 will 330 Excalibur

I assume its typical but new to us so had to ask

Same thing happens to me. It only happens the first startup of the day and doesn't happen ever again throughout the day. So I don't worry about it. As long as it doesn't stay on for a while or come back up throughout the day I wouldn't worry about it.

Mine does the same. What happens is that when they sit for extended periods the oils drains down into the pan. Pressure sensor is most likely on the top of the engine or at the cam. First time to star builds pressure and gets oil up top. I bet it's the same in our cars if we let them set for five days and then start them. Although a lot of the new oils filters have a check valve in them to hold pressure up top. Not sure those type of filters would work on remote location apps like boats.

Has your gauge ever got "Stuck" and not move at all?
