Josh,

 

Looks great.  This project is on my winter work list as well.  Guess it’s time 
to order mine before they’re all gone.

There is a special yellow teflon tape that is supposed to be okay for gasoline, 
but I don't know of any form that is safe for diesel.

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.

Apparently the yellow tape is both thicker and a lot denser material 
than the white stuff, Oatey makes both flavors.

There is a special yellow teflon tape that is /supposed/ to be okay for 
gasoline, but I don't know of any form that is safe for diesel.

Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Switch

There is a tape that is designed for oil fittings.  It is not the same tape as 
we use for household plumbing.  It looks very similar but the roll I was given

Hi Ron,
 Interesting thought about the Teflon tape.  My guess is that the tape 
would get damaged enough during installation to allow a good ground connection. 
 Of course, you can check it with an ohm meter after installation to be sure.

Josh,

You are way ahead of me.  It looks like you have a right angle adapter for the 
oil pressure switch.  My switch screws right into the engine so may have to 
install an adapter so everything clears the alternator belt.

Did you use Teflon tape on the joints?  I didn’t because it seems the tape 
would isolate the switch from engine ground.  We’ll see how that works when I 
start my engine next spring.

Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Switch

I have checked with my meter and so far I have always got a good connection 
through Teflon tape. YMMV on that, so check!
For my remote oil sensors/switch/filter assembly, I use a ground wire to that 
assembly because the rubber hose obviously doesn’t do the job.

Hi Ron,
 Interesting thought about the Teflon tape.  My guess is that the tape 
would get damaged enough during installation to allow a good ground connection. 
 Of course, you can check it with an ohm meter after installation to be sure.

Did you use Teflon tape on the joints?  I didn’t because it seems the tape 
would isolate the switch from engine ground.  We’ll see how that works when I

Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Switch

[Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List]

Ron

We installed the gauge on the advice of my mechanic who has been working on 
Yanmar marine engines for over 30 years.  He is the local expert.  I purchased 
a new sender unit and took that to a fittings supplier in our industrial park.  
The fellow at the counter picked out a couple adaptors and a Tee and had me set 
up in less than 5 minutes.  There was no problem finding the matching threads.  
Total cost excluding gauge and sender was under $20.  The gauge I purchased at 
Princess Auto.

Over the last two seasons we have motored a lot.  We had taken the boat from 
Halifax, NS to Bras Dors Lakes and had just completed Baddeck Race Week.  
Mooring from Baddeck to Dundee at 2800 RPMS (30NM) we started hearing an odd 
clicking sound at approx. 3 NM from destination.  Determined this was the 
pressure alarm starting and then stopping but not quite coming on full.  After 
turning off motor and sailing into our friend's dock in Dundee we checked out 
the engine more fully.  The first suggestion was to check the oil pressure.  
How do you accomplish this without a gauge?  It should be just over 50psi.

The next week we installed the guage and determined the pressure was just over 
45 psi.  So while the alarm was just cutting in the oil pressure was really all 
that low.  New oil and filter and it was back up to approx 52psi

I do not see how a brass gauge and fittings would suffer a catastrophic 
failure.  Even if the gauge was to shatter or fail it would be simple to remove 
the sender unit off the other end of the tee and install it directly in the 
engine

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?

Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Switch

[Russ & Melody via CnC-List]

Hey guys,

I agree with all who are reluctant to hang a 
switch & gauge off an engine mounted tee.


I have an adaptor to female NPT on my Kubota oil 
pressure port. There is a (4) NPT thread drilled 
aluminum block which has input, switch & gauge 
connections, leaving 1 spare port (plugged) 
firmly mounted on the engine. A rubber hose, 
typical of a grease gun whip, connects the two to eliminate vibration issues.


check message #3 for good thread and adaptor source info:

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 here

Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Switch

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

As I recall the proper tee doesn't exist.  It would be simple enough for a
machinist to manufacture though.  That was my plan.  Once you get it to
1/8" NPT you can do anything with it.

Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Switch

[Ron Ricci via CnC-List]

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?

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

For the non-mechanic; The oil pressure alarm should sound for a second or two 
when you start your engine and then shut off. (Assuming your alarm speaker, 
wiring, and ignition circuit are all ok)



Or you can disconnect the wire from the sending unit and measure the resistance 
from the sending unit to ground. It should be 0 when the engine is shut down 
and infinite when the engine is running.

Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Switch

[bushmark4--- via CnC-List]

 OK, how does one who is is not knowledgeable about such things know when an 
oil pressure switch is bad...how would I know if "sticks" open? (non-mechanic, 
no history of mechanical skills)??

When the old switch is removed, will oil leak out?  I can’t figure out if the 
oil level in the engine is above the port for the switch.

Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Switch

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

It's on the pressure side of the oil pump.  As long as the engine is not
running you will only get a small amount of leakage. Just hold an absorbent
towel under it and change it quickly.

Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Switch

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

Yes and no.

A small amount will leak and may allow you filter to drain (trickle) but
the sump will not.  I wouldn't remove it until you have a plug or a
replacement.
