Yes I am going to chance it. Although the yamaha system is a hell of a lot more reliable and there are a couple of stages of alarms. The oil tank has an electric pump that only cycles on when the reserve on the engine asks it to and if it doesn't for some reason it alarms. When the remote tank gets low (say 1/4) the reserve won't refill automatically, it alarms and tells you to manually (hit a switch under the cowling) fill the reserve, showing you exactly how much oil you have left. It has enough oil in the remote tank at this time to do that twice. And finally when the remote tank runs dry and the reserve on the motor gets down to 1/3 it alarms and cuts the motor to 1500 RPM's. I am hoping that by the third alarm I know to put oil in!

And pics are out for now, the boat is covered and put away as I am not going to be able to use it for a couple of weeks.
