High Vibration Electric Oil Pressure Sender
0-100 PSI, Autometer Gauges
These heavy duty oil pressure senders are designed to take the high vibration and punishment performance engines dish out, while providing superb accuracy. All senders are 1/8" NPT.
WARNING:
When installing the sender for your gauge onto the engine, you MUST NOT use any sealant on the threads (i.e. teflon tape, pipe dope, RTV, etc.). Doing so will prevent the sender from making clean contact with the engine, which will result in either faulty or no operation of the gauge. The senders have a tapered pipe thread, to create a seal, preventing leakage. This pipe thread also completes the ground to the engine required for proper gauge operation. here

The sensor is located on the engine block just above where the oil filter would be (if it didn't have a remote oil filter kit). It's not uncommon for these sensors to fail, I would just replace it. more
Re: oil pressure sensor fault 350 MPI here
Thanks Newport Dave, Your advice is exactly what I was looking for. I found what I believe is the oil pressure se nsor as it looks like the replacement part I saw online. I will change it and see what happens. Thanks for your time. [links]
Kiekhaefer introduced his own outboards, which he called Mercury motors, to enthusiastic buyers at the 1940 New York Boat Show, but the start of World War II derailed his plans once again. Kiekhaefer spent the war building chainsaw motors, but after the war he was back in the boat propulsion business. His Mercury Lightning outboard, introduced in 1947, was a two-cylinder engine that produced 10 horsepower. The Mercury Thunderbolt, a four-cylinder engine delivering 40 horsepower, followed a year later, and the six-cylinder, 60-horsepower Mark 75 was delivered in 1957. more
In 1961, Kiekhaefer merged with Brunswick Corporation, signaling the beginning of a new era for the company. Its products changed along with its corporate structure, and the first MerCruiser sterndrive engine was introduced in 1961, as well. The sterndrive was a compromise between inboard and outboard engines, and buyers loved the Kiekhaefer interpretation of the concept. The MerCruiser dominated the sterndrive market, and larger versions of the engine were developed in the following years. here
The MerCruiser 470 began production in 1976. It was a 3.7-liter inline four-cylinder engine that produced 170 horsepower, a powerful alternative to the 160- and 165-horsepower six-cylinder Mercury engines. The 470 featured a cast aluminum engine block designed by Mercury Marine, the name Kiekhaefer's company had taken in 1969, and the block was mated with an iron cylinder head from the Ford 460 V-8 engine. The same engine block was used in several other MerCruiser engines, including the 170, 190, 485 and 488. [links]
Engineer Carl Kiekhaefer didn't have dreams of revolutionizing the marine engine business when he founded Kiekhaefer Corporation in 1940. He wanted to build dairy separators, but a contract to rebuild outboard motors changed the direction that Kiekhaefer Coporation would move. The MerCruiser engine, the first sterndrive powerplant over 100 horsepower, was just one of the many results of Kiekhaefer's detour.

To explain, those engines have a Engine Gaurdian system that reduces The available power and can even shut the engine down when a critical situation emerges. It also records when and why they happened.
