Caver 404Oil Pressure Guage Needle Bouncing
Posted: June 11th, 2015, 9:22 am
Hi
I noticed, while cruising in some moderately rough seas that my port side oil pressure needle was dropping and recovering very quickly. I would describe it more as "bouncing" than actually a drop (lasted less than a second). Total drop was maybe 10 psi. A couple of questions:
1) Has anyone else experienced this?
2) Any ideas on what could cause it....I am think a connection, needle, etc. issue.
Now for the dumb question. I am going to check the port side engine oil level. Any guidance on where to look for the dip stick would be great.
Thanks
