I have a 1997 Yanmar 3JH2-T(B)E turbo motor in my Freedom 40/40 and when I start it up, the oil pressure is low, but when I start motoring, it climbs to normal levels. Then after about 20-30 minutes, the pressure starts dropping to levels lower than I would like to see it. Quite often I can change the engine RPMs and the pressure will climb back to normal levels, only to drop again after some random amount of time. The pressure never drops to levels where the alarm sounds, but this is clearly concerning.
The motor has about 5K hours on it and is currently in Guatemala. I'll be headed down to the boat on 2/1, so I need to figure out what parts I may need to bring down with me. Any ideas?
