It looked like the board needed new questions but more importantly, I need 
answers, so here goes....

:-)

There wasn't much wind today so we came back to the marina under power for the 
last 30 minutes or so. The engine (5411) was reading a little hot (220 - 230) 
but not a big deal. As we came closer to the marina, I powered down a lot, went 
into neutral and then heard the engine oil alarm. I heard it every half second 
(not a consistent sound like when I prime it) and then I put it in gear. The 
sound was still present and still inconsistent. I made it into my slip without 
a problem. I checked the oil, but it wasn't low. 

After cleaning up, I started the engine to try to replicate what I heard but 
could not. I had it tied securely and put it into gear and kept it there for 
several minutes at around 2200 RPMs, then revved it in neutral for a while, put 
it back under load but could not make it happen again. Any ideas? 

Also, unrelated (or related...I don't know); when moving forward under power, 
is everyone's exhaust under water and if so, is it white because of the outside 
temperature (low to mid 50's), is something wrong or is that normal?

Thanks in advance, 

Michael
