To be fair, the oil pressure is fed via the CANBUS to the IPK, and I suspect the easiest way to address this is to fit either a bog standard oil pressure switch and separate lamp, or an oil pressure gauge
I would love to see some pictures of your install

Herewith some photos ,it is difficult to photograph some of the detail.The first picture is of the stand alone engine management circuit.I have made two of these ,one is 130hp and the other is uprated to 160hp courtesy of marinabrian, they are protected by a ventilated box when on board These are simply plug and play and can therefore be easily removed from the boat over the winter.The engine drives a waterjet unit,this is one of four that I designed and made many years ago. The jet casing is grp composite ,the internals and control surfaces 316 stainless steel, There is no gearbox needed, reverse is accomplished with a pelton bucket .Cooling is provided by a water cooled heat exchanger using pressurised water from the jet unit so no salt water goes anywhere near the engine. The turbo exhaust/intake air is cooled by a water cooled intercooler in the same way. The engine is on rubber mounts at all four corners and drives a short shaft with uj's at each end ,as there is no thrust involved on this. The dmf has been welded solid.The boat is a 21ft Tremlett from the 1970's in my opinion the best 21ft hull ever made, although I bought it as a wreck.Performance so far has been very encouraging and I am looking forward to this summer. Many thanks for your interest.
