Does anyone know where to find the warning buzzers/lights for the dashboard? I am looking for the momentary audible (with red light) dummy warning indicators. The ones that sound for a few seconds when the key is activated.

Mine stay on as long as the key is "ON", it's loud and annoys the sh!t out of me. you can't do anything with the key "ON" (engines not running) and those damned things at full blast. Any direction is much appreciated.

I went ahead and grabbed two of these, not sure if they are momentary (shut themselves off after a couple seconds when key "ON")

I'm curious, with the key on, engines not running, there is no oil pressure, so why wouldn't the alarm stay on?

mike tkach

that is what it is for,to warn the driver if engine overheats or looses oil pressure.

Yes, I agree, and that's why it is on because it doesn't see oil pressure. When the engine fires and is running it goes off.

My question is, aren't there switches (Take for instance our other boat with Yamaha outboards), where the buzzers initially sound, and then go quiet with the key on. They only sound again if there is a problem. Am I explaining it correctly?

I can live with it, just looking for an alternative so that I can have my keys on without those damned buzzers singing in my ear. Makes it near impossible to think when I am trying to troubleshoot something. Maybe install a cut-off switch just for the buzzers, but I really don;t want to do that, because eventually I will forget to turn them back on, then have problems.

Mike,
That was my question, he said they shut themselves off after a couple of seconds without the engine running with the key on. Without the engine running there is no oil pressure, so they should sound, correct? Mine have about a 10 second delay when you first turn on the key, but after that they sound because there is no oil pressure (unless you start the engine).

mike tkach

yours are working correctly,until the oil pressure comes up they should sound with the key in the on position.

frickstyle

Yes, they stay on, it's annoying.....

Mr Maine

I see what you mean, Yamaha must use an input from the tach or something, so if the key is on but engine not running, then alarm is silenced. Why do you want to have the keys on without running engine?

You could introduce a time delay relay into the circuit. You would have to wire it so it was only active in the "key on-engine off" state.
