Why is the warning light on?
 
34' DCB, Starboard warning light is on even though oil in the drive reservoir, oil pressure, water temp all okay. All other guages oil temp, water press., etc are all right. Even though I can see everything is in order, this is driving me crazy. Anyone got an idea?

I believe these lights run off the ground provided by oil, the lights resting position is on, but when oil is present the ground is completed and the light goes off.

As such I would look for a grounding problem.

Actually I would call Steve at the Old Bait House (270-443-5321) and ask him what is wrong.

Tell him I said call, he will try to help and has probably seen this a hundred times...
