Also remember NEVER use teflon tape on fuel lines for any reason. It
dissolves.

I had never looked before yesterday but was able to quickly find
electronic gage senders. You wouldn't need to plumb a gage all
the way to the gage board, just wires.
Also remember that the Teflon tape or pipe dope isn't to make a
seal it is to lubricate the threads so that they can screw
together tightly enough to become leak tight.

I am concerned about connecting a gauge directly to the engine
for fear that the vibration could cause a catastrophic failure

First, I checked out Mike’s link and Persistence is a
sharp looking boat. I’m partial to the color as Patriot is
also dark blue with a red boot stripe and gold cove
stripe. Patriot also caught a line around the shaft
resulting in multiple B.O.A.T. units to straighten the
strut and replace the shaft.
I’ve been considering adding a the ability to read oil
pressure by adding the appropriate transducer and NMEA
2000 interface. To me, the existing pressure switch setup
is not necessarily ‘fail-safe’. Probably the most
difficult thing will be to find an appropriate tee
(Japanese threads). I wonder if any other lister has
found a tee that works with a Yanmar engine?
Thanks to all listers for your feedback,

Also you could install an oil pressure gauge so you know
what the pressure really is. The alarm is like the idiot
light on your car ... if it sounds there is likely a
problem but if it is broken you blithely assume all is
good. I once had a car where the bulb for the engine
light was burned out.
To install a gauge you use the same hole as the oil
pressure sender. Then you Tee that and put sender on one
side of tee and gauge on other. When in doubt you just
take a quick look at the gauge.
I have a picture of the gauge installed on Persistence
website. You can see the picture in the gallery link
