From a single boatshow visit where a Catalina 309 was displayed next to
a Tartan 3400 my view is that a Catalina is not at all like a CC
The only similarity is that the 309 looked to have its hull designed 30
years ago and that the interior of the Catalina was constructed like a
1970s travel
Jim I agree with this: because everyone who believes that a CC is the
same as a Catalina is the same as a Hunter is not going to put a premium on
buying *my* boat. I'm standing up for the brand.

Yes. The sensor connects the wire to ground when there is no oil pressure and
that sounds the buzzer. If the sensor is defective, it will not connect the
wire to ground and the buzzer will not sound.

True statement. I suggested earlier that if it does not sound when the wire is
grounded the problem is elsewhere.
A resistance/continuity check across the sensor will quickly tell if it's
faulty. No oil pressure should yield a direct short.

Understood Bill, I know the buzzer works and that it has power to it.
ONLY I will ground the lead to the switch and see if it sounds key
position on but engine off. It it sounds that tells me the wire and led and
buzzer is good and the switch is faulty.
Thanks again guys.

If you turn on the key switch and put a voltmeter between the wire to the o/p
sensor and ground, there should be 12V approx there. If there is voltage and
you ground the wire, the buzzer should activate. If there is no voltage check
the other end of the wire and chase the problem from there.
I Love the Quote. I'll check the GBS connection (just for verification).
