I have a 1989 23 ft. Regazza, the boat electrical system kept cutting out yesterday, yet the boat has been running perfect all season; I did discover that there was very little oil showing on the dipstick, once I added oil it seemed to work great all day. Did Donzi install engine cut-off safety for low oil?

2nd, inside the cabin, on the right side near toilet, I found a silver button approx. 1 ft. off floor on the right, the wires have been cut by a previous owner, can anyone tell me what this button operated,

thanks

I have never seen an oil cut off, just the low oil alarm which sounds off under the dash. Someone may have installed something after the fact.

The mystery switch could be most anything but a guess would be a macerator pump or maybe it had an electric head at one time.

I can only assume th was the problem, once I put oil in the boat, I never had a problem the rest of the day??
