Greetings,
After trolling offshore for about 6 hours with no problems, my 150 Evinrude FICHT gave me a NO OIL alarm. The light turned off after a couple of minutes, I stopped the engine for about five minutes, restarted and no alarm came back. I did some more trolling, for about three more hours at 1700 rpm, then I cruised back to port at 3700 for 30 minutes, and no alarms. I did a diagnostic test and it said CODE 35-OIL Pressure Switch Malfunction.
Do you guys have any recommendations or suggestions...what it is the best route to follow to solve this issue?
Best wishes
Pedro,

Pinch the return line and run motor 1500 rpm for about 2 minutes.( You should get excessive smoke)
