I have a 1993 Mercury 200HP Offshore. The last time I had it out the oil alarm went off after about 15 minutes of running at 2500 RPM's the oil alarm sounded. I got it back to the dock without a problem. At the dock I did some quick trouble shooting (checked the cap and float inside) but I could not get the alarm to turn off. The engine sat for 3 days in the UP position and it started with no problem and no alarm. I left the dock to run it and it ran for about 15 minutes with no alarm then it alarmed again. I tilted the engine up and let it sit that way for a few minutes and started it with no alarm sounding. My assumption is if it was a float cap problem it would alarm all the time but I have heard that they are a common cause of alarm.
Does anyone have any ideas on where to start trouble shooting?
