I made a new instrument panel for my Boston Whaler 31L, and everything seems to work except the oil pressure gauge. The boat has twin Cummins 6BTA – 315 HP engines, with single station oil pressure sending units. I know there are a couple of different types of sending units for different applications, and I assume it’s a compatibility issue, as I’ve double checked the wiring, and its the same issue on both engines. When I turn either start switch to the run position, the corresponding oil pressure gauge pegs at full pressure. The gauge is a Faria Kronos series gauge, part #19002 – 0-80 psi unit. The old unit is a VDO part # 350-0105 – 0-150 PSI. Any thoughts on the issue would be a help. Is there another sending unit that may be compatible with the gauge and the Cummins alarm board? Possibly a grounding issue?
