Service LIght on Dashboard

Sobooshwa

My "Service Drive" light has come on after 170 hours and getting regular service each year including changing the drive lubricant.  Does anyone know exactly what this light is telling me?

Maybe it's low on lube.  Does your boat have a resovoir in the engine bay for the drive?  Could be oil pressure, overheat, water pressure as well.

A service drive light? First I've heard of that. Anyone else have that?

Yup. Have one indicator for each engine. They light up with a self-check on start-up...

He said “Service Drive Light”, seems to be drive specific?

That is the light that I am talking about, OBD Service Soon

Could it be that it’s just letting you know an oil change is due soon? Like how a car lets you know.

I assumed that boats with cat converters got the OBD warning lights? If so, maybe a bad O2 sensor?

There should be a way to reset it, either through your VesselView or a scan tool. I would figure out how to reset it and then see if it comes back.

Google (sea ray and bayliner sites) says that the OBD Service Light is On Board Diagnostics, not specific to the drive. That is all engine so it could be oil change or something else.

Definitely need a scan tool to check the code.

If it works like an OBD on a car it's only going to come on for basically emissions equipment malfunction such as O2 sensor as previously stated. Not sure what other emissions stuff would be on a boat??
