There is a special yellow teflon tape that is /supposed/ to be okay for
gasoline, but I don't know of any form that is safe for diesel.

I have never heard that. What I do know is if you are not VERY VERY
careful pieces of tape end up in the fuel system.

Also remember NEVER use teflon tape on fuel lines for any reason. It
dissolves.

I had never looked before yesterday but was able to quickly
find electronic gage senders. You wouldn't need to plumb a
gage all the way to the gage board, just wires.
Also remember that the Teflon tape or pipe dope isn't to make
a seal it is to lubricate the threads so that they can screw
together tightly enough to become leak tight.

First, I checked out Mike’s link and Persistence is a
sharp looking boat. I’m partial to the color as
Patriot is also dark blue with a red boot stripe and
gold cove stripe. Patriot also caught a line around
the shaft resulting in multiple B.O.A.T. units to
straighten the strut and replace the shaft.
I’ve been considering adding a the ability to read oil
pressure by adding the appropriate transducer and NMEA
2000 interface. To me, the existing pressure switch
setup is not necessarily ‘fail-safe’. Probably the
most difficult thing will be to find an appropriate
tee (Japanese threads). I wonder if any other lister
has found a tee that works with a Yanmar engine?
Thanks to all listers for your feedback,

Also you could install an oil pressure gauge so you
know what the pressure really is. The alarm is like
the idiot light on your car ... if it sounds there is
likely a problem but if it is broken you blithely
assume all is good. I once had a car where the bulb
for the engine light was burned out.
To install a gauge you use the same hole as the oil
pressure sender. Then you Tee that and put sender on
one side of tee and gauge on other. When in doubt you
just take a quick look at the gauge.
I have a picture of the gauge installed on Persistence
website. You can see the picture in the gallery link
here
