triple's on 07 40 outlaw, showing no oil pressure on center & starboard?? port engine all gauges working, also gauges are Livorsi analog w/ no smart craft & fresh service on all fluids filters belts etc.
This was first time in water this year. exhaust solenoids not working either. Just started engines in water & turned off after no oil psi on gauges, no rev or anything. Checked obvious relays & fuses associated w/ Baja & 496 engine (4 mini blade fuse block under top cover) all looked well.
One other note is that no beeps or guardian mode so sounds like ecm is not detecting any oil psi problem's.
Just funny that both engines/gauges are down at the same time.
Any 2 cents would be appreciated, didn't get Mercury manual w boat so maybe a "where is sensor" question is in order.
Thanks guys ahead for your time effort & NRG

Just referenced a post from Ray @ Raylar, got sensor location. Any way to confirm gauge/sensor function w/ ohm meter?
Also where can I get a genuine Mercury 496 ho manual, bought this particular boat because of where I live there are NO people to work on this type of boat & was worried that with the service required on SCI engines that it would be a nightmare. So every boating season its something w 496's too.
just my luck I magine

www.mercuiserparts.com is where you can get the manual and look up any location of anything in the parts diagrams.
Buy a Rinda scanner for ~$500 bucks. With THREE 496HOs, it's the best money you will ever spend on your boat. www.rinda.com

I would think just about all marine service centers should be able to handle the 496. Service should be the same if there's one installed in a 24' bow rider or 3 in a 40 OL.
