Apparently the yellow tape is both thicker and a lot denser material
than the white stuff, Oatey makes both flavors.

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.

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
