The engine should turn over whether the glow plug button is depressed or not.
Twelve volts should go to the ignition switch. The other side of the ignition
switch should go to the starter button and to the glow plug button. Depressing
the glow plug button will energize the glow plug. Then
I put an AirSep air filter/silencer on Calypso's Perkins 4-108 and it did

The engine sounded normal. When I shut it down and checked the oil level it
was mid range in acceptable area on dip stick. The engine compartment did not
seem hot. There was no sign of oil or coolant leakage. Oil level approx the
same as when checked two weeks ago
One note
Hi All,
I have a old (no surprise there)volvo penta 2003 and my mechanic said if I put
an intake air silencer (part no 840691) on it would reduce the noise level of
the engine.
Volvo unfortunately no longer makes these things. Can they be found? (No luck
yet with search) Is there a better way
No. We were motoring in waves though. Mostly from astern or on quarter so
boat had been moving around.
At dock was perfectly level

Also not expensive to get a mechanical oil pressure gauge and hook it up, even
if you only want to do it temporarily. Actually just about any mechanical
pressure gauge will work for test purposes, including air pressure gauges, just
get one with an appropriate pressure range.

One thing that can cause this is when the oil is not draining back from the
head or wherever
fast enough. At higher RPM you might be pumping more oil up, and after a while
sucking
air in the pan instead of oil.
You might be able to determine if this is the case by measuring the oil level

Thanks to all for the ideas. I like the VHF start idea and race score as
compensation may work too. Regatta Pro is one of the systems I have been looking
at.

OK.
So the service manual says to connect the oil pressure gauge to the pilot lamp
unit for primary pressure and lubricating oil pipe connector for secondary
pressure.
Where is the pilot lamp unit?

Cooling water flow? When changing the light bulbs or wiring in the past it
is easy enough to imagine a mixup. Checking engine temp is where I would
start.
You could also have a very slight dilution of your oil with fuel. After it
gets hot enough the viscosity drops and causes your low pressure
Sounds like bad/loose wiring or a bad sending unit, with wiring the more
likely. My 2 cents.

Did you check the oil level after the alarm sounded? It could be low after a
period of little use followed by motoring for a few hours. At higher RPM’s, the
oil might fall below the pickup as more oil is pumped to the head than returns
to the pan. I hope it is simple…..

The light doesn't come in when the engine is cold(?). Has to be cooling
related. And yes, that can result in a low pressure warning before a temp
warning. Check your impeller.

Was there any noise from the engine that sounded like it was short of lube oil
pressure?
It is an easy and low cost test to buy a new oil pressure sending unit.
Install it and test again with the engine at normal operating temp.
If you still get the warning it is likely the lube oil pump.

I checked the level on the dipstick immediately after stopping engine. Was

Crom what I can ascertain is you have 2 filters, a large(primary)and a
smaller one (secondary). The secondary oil press. is the pressure for this
filter. The engine bleeds off some oil (5-10%) and sends it thru this filter
and back to the oil sump.The critical pressure is the primary.
Thanks
Please explain difference between primary and secondary pressure.

I doubt that it was a Bermuda 40. Since it was a yawl(or maybe ketch rigged) ,
a B40 would likely have only 55 ‘ or less mast height.
