Oil Pressure Gauges

[rap55]

Hey All,

I have a friend who has twin 454`s and dual helm stations. His oil pressure gauges seem to be working backwards. At idle the needle shows about 60 lbs. of oil pressure. When you rev the engins the needle drops rather than rising? Any ideas on this?

Thanks, Rick F-36 (MissKitty)

Most likely the wrong senders , Most likely has automotive senders .Seen this many times before . Also there is a different sender for dual stations .

Rick long time no see Hows things ?

Hey Paul,

To tell the truth...Things have been a little rough since last September as far as the work situation goes. Spent last spring and summer running a charter-boat out of Destin Fl. for the Army which was pretty cool up until the end of the fishing season at which time we got a lay off. Went back home to one of the slowest work pictures I`ve seen in a very long time. Not much going on with new construction and folks not spending money on repair work so we been pretty much dead in tha water. Not sure if we gonna land another fishing gig this year in Destin as I got a late start job hunting and most of the boats have thier captains in place for the season. May be forced to put the ole Trojan up for sale if something dont change soon. Same ole story...Day late and Dollar short although It could be worse I guess. Thanks for the input with the gauge problem because I wasn`t sure where to start looking.

So tell me Paul...How are things on your end.
