Engine oil pressure gauge

[tonytrakovich]

I have recently redone my FB dash panel with new gauges. All gauges seem to work except eng oil pressure pegs to max. The pilot house gauge works fine. Are there 2 senders on each engine for the upper and lower gauges? What else could it be?

Gauge will peg when it grounds. It's wiring or perhaps a bad sender? In the olden days there were dual gauge senders and gauges. Now each gauge has it's own sender. Start disconnecting oil sender wires and see what happens.

Thanks Seven. There are some pics in the helm thread. I am going to finish the install and post more.

Keep in mind there are 2 types of senders and wiring, standard ground and floating. Also; there are dual gage senders that can simplify things.
