Here’s the latest update. I bought an inexpensive pressure gauge just to make sure I had oil pressure and I do, 38 psi at cold idle. Next I installed my new low cost pressure sensor and adapter and ran it again. The engine was still cold and the pressure on the Garmin display and the Yanmar display was 41 psi, close enough to the pressure gauge reading so I was happy. I also changed the fuel filter on the fuel/water separator, no water found, checked all the wiring connections before I reinstalled the Yanmar engine cover. I know some people were concerned if the cover would fit over the new sensor with the adapter and it did with room to spare. I didn’t use the black thumb screws that came with the new unit because I was worried about the clearance so I found some nylon lock nuts that worked great I had leftover from my days in the aviation world. I ran her at the dock in and out of gear for an hour without any issues. I won’t say it’s fixed until I give her a good long run next week but I’m feeling good so far. I’ll keep ya posted.
