    The VRO pump will (depends on which pump) have 3 or 4 wires from the small end that run to a plug, disconnect the plug.

    You did find the wires to the reservoir sender?

    Re: 70 johnson help (RUSTY63)

    i am asking this for a buddy of mine... i believe he said he removed the wires that went from the engine to the top of the resevoir.. but when we take his boat out the red oil light and the alarm goes off about a minute after take off, lasts about 30 seconds or so then shuts off... it just gets annoying and have a feeling he didn't unhook everything correctly

    That should have be part of the oil tank wiring harness that goes back to the motor and connects in to the engine's harness, you should have also disconnected the VRO harness and plugged the oil line with the yellow plug. CM
