Ran the boat about noon, then came in for lunch. Went back out at 3 when the wind died, but as I was idling out noticed my oil pressure and voltmeter reflected the big zero. Started to troubleshoot problem until about six. Spoke to a mechanic, and he said if indeed I lost oil press, I would here the engine knocking like a som bi##h, and should have an alarm going off. Losing two gauges sounds electrical after running some tests.

First sign of low oil pressure would be the hydraulic lifters collapsing making your valve-train rattle like hell. Sounds like you indeed have some guage issues.

We went out again today, but wifey wasn't feeling too sociable so we anchored at the north end of the dam by the cliffs and got some more sun. Then had some unnecessary drama at the boat ramp.
