We're you motor sailing? If heeled, as when motor sailing, I have experience
oil pressure alarm. I assumed the oil pick up was affected by heel of boat.
Oil level was mid level on stick when at rest. A thought.

Oil changed in May. Used 15W 40
Oil level checked July 22
300 mile delivery to Cape Breton (Dundee then Baddeck) July 23 – Aug 2
Yesterday after running engine at 2800 RPM for approx. 5.5 hrs a “clicking
sound” was heard in cockpit. Thought at first was from Ram mic but was still
there once disconnected. Determined was coming from alarm speaker on Yanmar
panel. Tapped panel and then Oil pressure light illuminated and alarm sounded.
Shut down engine and sailed to dock (without crashing)
At dock started engine and at idle no alarm or light. Revved up to 3000 RPM
and the light started flickering and a sputtering sound from the speaker (the
clicking sound we heard earlier) which was followed by full illumination of Oil
pressure light and full alarm siren. Stoped engine and waited.
A few minutes later retarted engine and had no alarm at idle, followed by
sputtering and then full alarm at high rpms. Reduced RPMs to idle and alarm
stopped and light turned off.
Any thoughts?
Boat is currently 3.5 hrs away by car so any parts will have to be taken with
me in advance
