    Question VesselView Mobile & “Blocking” Error Codes - 115 Optimax

    Can the VesselView Mobile App actually “Block” an error code to stop the alarm beeping?

    Picked up my 3rd Optimax - this time a 2008 115 with 200 hrs on it. Checked out and ran fine during test run for 15+ mins and then started throwing the 4 beeps at me, checked water in fuel good & drained VST. Oil tank over half full. Does need a new impeller probably soon but no overheating codes & peeing good.

    Installed VesselView Mobile and I’m getting both the oil level/sensor codes - don’t care to replace the whole tank yet I keep a good eye on my oil levels.

    Does the “block” function on VesselView actually stop the beeping or do I need to resort to jumping the oil sensor wires?

    can’t seem to find any clarity of that online. Thank you!

    Only thing that "block" does is tell the app to ignore that fault.

    This one needs to get fixed (properly).

    Thank you Don - troubleshot the error codes and it is indeed a faulty Oil Tank/sensor - “hot wired” the sensor wires for the time being until I can locate a new oil tank at a decent price.
