95 Pantera II/200 Mercury with BP100 dash – Normally, the oil light on this dash will blink when the power is on the go off once the motor is started. Recently it keeps blinking even after the motor is running. I understand that if there is an oiling problem the light will stay on and I should hear the buzzer but am not getting either – just the light stays blinking. Is there any reason for alarm here or does anyone know how to fix this… is there possibly a reset of some type on the dash? I didnt see anything on this in the dash manual Thanks for the help.

I have a BP101 but I believe flashing means water in fuel, I think I would remove the sensor from the bottom of the Water Separator and catch the fuel in a glass jar to see if you have water in it easy and fast check, I think it works like blinking when key on, off when running all ok, solid with oil problem and blinking with water in fuel.

That LCD segment is driven only by power provided by the engine harness. Check the supply wire from the ignition key harness and the warning beeper for operation. The solid signal is heat and intermittent is oil or water in the fuel. It could be a power supply to the dash being corroded or broken on a connection. Though it does deserve some discovery to determine the fault. Hopefully it is only a wire or connection. Check the wiring in the BP manual Id PDF file. Good Luck! BCB

Thanks for the replys they are much appreciated! We drained the fuel filter and got a bit of rust colored water/fuel as a well as a bit of rust on the top of the filter itself. We will have to get a new filter on Monday but I bet it was water in the fuel that was causing the light to blink.Jason Ferbrache – Edmond, OK 1995 Basscat Eyra

You still have a beeper issue though.

My 94 use to do that all the time. Was always water in the fuel. Use to get a small amout bit or water on the sensor and it would start beeping. Dump the filter out and it shold go away.

You mean the fuel filter? My 94 PII is doing the same thing. Just got it and switching motors so havent run it yet, but the oil lcd has been flashing when the powers on. Should I go ahead and dump the fuel filter to see if theres any water in it? Guy I got the boat from was meticullous with the boat and kept the tanks at least 2/3 full all the time. Probably doesnt matter though. Cant wait to post some pics!!! By the way, he only had 69 hours on the boat and motor. The 200 mariner magnum motor is going on my old 1991 pantera classic. Would be a great boat for somebody looking for an older cat with a great motor.
