that tells you the pulse tube to the tank in the boat is working, it fills the reservoir on the engine that gravity feeds the pump on the engine. To test further, with the engine running, take teh hose off the outlet side of eth oil pump and see if its pumping oil, you can pop the oil control linkage off and push teh lever to full and it will pump a fair amount. With the linkage hooked up at idle, its hard to tell if its pumping or its just gravity feeding
