No, I removed the Main tank on the engine and drained the oil from it. There is an oil strainer that sits down in the main tank that the float and sensor goes in. Its #25 in this diagram.

Well the last thing I did on the boat was take the main oil tank off and drain the oil in it. I also took the in tank strainer off on the main tank and noticed the foam gasket that goes around the strainer stem was not where it was supposed to be. I also manipulated the main tank float to turn...

You were right! Sensor was fine, the little stop was split and spinning on that shaft. Thank you again!!!

Another question. My tilt/trim indicator in my tach stays on about 2.5 or 3 no matter how much I trim the motor up or down. Is it sensed by the position of the motor or the position of the boat in the water? Where would I find the sensor for it?

That would be awesome, thank you! Just send me a PM with the details on payment and I will get it to you.

In my recent research I have noticed people talking about yellow, green, and red lights on the tach. I have never seen any of these come on at any point of this process let alone the whole time I've owned the boat. Could that have anything to do with it? I also read that the trim sensor might...

Dont apologize, I am very grateful for the help! I think we have at least ruled out the tank sensors as being bad. They seem to be working as designed. I will do more research on the control box see if anything comes up. So far between this forum and hulltruth people have said that the upper oil...

Is there any way to test that control box? I know the one you are talking about. I hit the toggle switch when this happened for the very first time to make sure the pump was pumping oil to the top main tank.

Here's a few pictures of what I have going on. One lead into the black wire plug the other into the double red (what connects to the red/blue wire). Float is at the top most position (bottom picture) and is reading open loop and will stay on that reading until it's about 1/4" from the bottom...

I just really appreciate the help. Leads were good 0.00 you were right it was on the battery post and gave an incorrect reading. Reading 0 now. Tested the float switch and had no reading till the float got about 1/4 of an inch from the bottom then it showed 0.00 no resistance. Tried to vibrate...

Just tested the negative battery cable going from the battery to the starter post on the motor and got 1.8 ohms. No visual signs of wear or corrosion. Seems a bit high for 4' of cable. Could that be the problem? Checked all other battery cables and came out with 0 ohms. Just read this last post...

That is basically what I tried to do last time I took it out. Took the cover off and the main oil tank was at the full line. Started it up and idled past no wake zone (maybe 20 yards away) oil level was still at the top line. Pushed the throttle all the way down got up on plane and leveled off...

When I had it in the water to test it yesterday I started it up then took the motor cover off. The tank on the motor had oil up to the top line. I idled through the no wake for about 1 minute, looked back at the motor tank (which looked like the oil level hadn't moved) and pinned the throttle...

Just got done with the tests. Took engine cover off and main engine tank oil level was at the top line. Checked the larger tank under the back seat and it was 3/4 full. Pulled the main (engine) tank float sensor and wiped it clean then turned it upside down then turned ignition on. No blinking...

Wow, thank you very much for taking the time to explain that and helping me on this I really appreciate it! I am going to try that this weekend and see what comes of it.
