Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Hello, we went and looked at a 24 ft pontoon boat yesterday (plan to buy if engine checks and runs out good)

I need some info on the engine before we purchase it and have searched but with out much success

It is still winterized and we will wait until 1st of April to go, scope cylinders and do a compression check etc.

It still uses oil injection and through research, the pump being gear driven everyone seems to keep it

This engine is supposed to have a few lights, oil level low, oil pressure low and oil flow low

Where would these be located? I would assume the console?

It has a new console with no lights on it?

I didnt ask seller about it due to just figuring this out last night

While looking through pictures it appears a wire or two may be loose at harness connector under engine cover

Where are the lights and buzzer supposed to be?

Thanks

ETA...P.S. he actually bought drivers seat and console from pontoonstuff dot com

I can only speculate...that being said, my old Evinrude has a warning buzzer inside of the throttle control. I suppose it could be hooked up to a warning light if I was so inclined..? There's only one way you can be SURE about loose wires in the harness, & that's to buy a factory service manual for that particular motor....

Plan to do that as soon as we buy it

just looking for general info

Since PB went retard (about 7k pictures), I need to do another account somewhere to host pictures, does this board upload like some of the other ones I am one?

Yes, you can upload pics. Click on choose file under your narrative respons spot, and follow directions.

Here is sn, it looks like a 9 but is peeling like a 0




This shows oil level and a loose wire

Just a WAG on my part, but GUESSING I'd say the sender in the tank probably went south and the quick fix was to clip the wire.

good news, I found out the warning lights and the buzzer are incorporated with a gauge in the dash, and it has that gauge, also he is going to send me the service manual for it...getting antsy now
