Re: Engine Alarm / Buzzer

I've had a lot of problems with my M35B oil alarm buzzer. There's a long discussion about this at C34.org.

We have 2100 hours on our M35B. We're on our third heat exchanger due to this problem. This is a stupid design, with a heavy heat exchanger strapped to a vibrating motor in the worst possible position. The best cure is probably to mount the heat exchanger on the bulkhead where it would not be consta...
