Low Oil High Heat Alarm M25XP

rpell1@msn.com · Mar 11, 2015

Hi,
I've had a lot of luck with Jamestowndistributors.com . They seem to have a full stock of 25XP parts and accessories.

Good Luck and Happy Sailing,

.....Just remembered. There's another site I've used successfully.

http://shop.toadmarinesupply.com/ma...ion=universal&contentname=engine&engine=M25XP

Cut and paste this into your browser and it will take you right to the 25XP page. If you have any difficulty, use just the shop.toadmarinesupply.com .

I don't know what's missing or doesn't
work. I'd like to buy all new.

Any recommendations?

Google.

I am constantly amazed by folks who post questions here that could be simply answered by a basic Google search.

The links provided are very good, too.

If you were looking for guitar strings, I guess you'd go to

...but they have the same issues:

Where can I find....???

M25XP part

Go from there, it might even take you to this forum.

Good luck, glad to help.

Are they interchangeable?

Yes, the alarm switch portion is interchangeable if the threaded portion of the sensor is the same as your original. The alarm sensor is either a normally open switch (water high temp. alarm) or normally closed switch (low oil press.) so anybody's sensor will work. It's different if you're looking at gauges. There the resistance range of the transmitter and the gauge requirements have to match.

You can do yourself a big favour and go to your local automotive parts supplier and buy a generic switch from them for a small fraction of what a "mahrine" switch would cost. They're the same switch and have different thread sizes..

Sorry

Stu, Stu, Stu. Did you miss the part
where I said my searches came up
with nothing? Some places had the
part listed, but they said "discontinued."
I tried with lots of different search
parameters and still came up empty.

And you don't think I did a search on
here first?

It took more of your energy to post
what you did than to give some
suggestions.

Thanks anyway.

Sorry, but www.marinedieseldirect.com didn't show up?

Sorry to react that way, I apolgize.

Hope we can help in more detail in the future.

Just FMI, what serarch phrase were you using?

I have a Catalina 30 MK III and I replaced the buzzer in the control panel with a buzzer from Allied Electronics.

Click on the datasheet for info. It has a common terminal and 2 alarm terminals (one for pulse and one for constant)

My engine is a M25XP.

Jongleur, the Yanmar alarm (buzzer) is near $200. I replaced mine with a piezo electric buzzer with the same decibel rating from an electronic store. $1.89 !!! I hid it behind the panel. Good luck

You are talking about 2 separate systems. If you are looking for a remove and replace part to make them work, there is none. You need to troubleshoot what you have. Start with the oil pressure system. On the engine control panel, you should be able to turn the key to on and get a red light and buzzer to sound. What do you get?

Donnybrook · Mar 12, 2015

Could be a bad oil pressure switch, but most likely a broken wire. Have you checked the connection on the oil pressure switch? Do you have a volt/ohm meter and know how to use it?

Stu Jackson · Mar 12, 2015

The REASON you didn't get a hit on the toad website is because the buzzer didn't come with the engine. The buzzer is part of the cockpit control/electrical panel made by SEAWARD.

I believe the Whale Company purchased Seaward last year and they don't sell to the public.

Go to Radio Shack and they sell the 12v DC buzzers.

This may get you closer to a source.

Good luck.

If it ends up being the buzzer I bought a replacement at Catalina Direct
