Thanks to everyone for their thoughts. It was so obvious; I just couldn't
imagine it being a sail drive, the way you and I know it. No, I don't have
a sail drive. It is either a short in the cable harness or the alarm is
hooked up to something else that is in an alarm state.
I'll be tracing the wiring to determine which is the case.
Water Proof - Sheesh, what's next!!! At least the boat's still water
proof!
Thanks
Greg

I guess the question should be is this a SailDrive diesel on your
vessel? it may look like a normal diesel on the top, but this is where
it ends. Do you have a long driveshaft? If it is a SailDrive unit, then
you should NOT.
If it is, then it makes 100% sense. I may be stating the obvious, but a
saildrive looks like this :
http://www.yanmarmarine.com/products/product_saildrives.php, and in a
nutshell, comprises a lower & an upper half. Basically the engine seals
one hell of hole in the boat. The lit light that you are referring to
is advising there is water in this seal...
If not, I have no idea!

OK - I'm getting closer.
Someone on the Newport list emailed me some Yanmar data.
The alarm appears to be:
"Water in Sail Drive Seal Alarm"
What the hell is a "sail drive seal" on a Yanmar diesel engine????
I love this list. Thank you, Stefan. This is better than sliced bread!

I should have added:
My 1977 Newport 41 was built with an Atomic 4. The first owner refitted
in
1994 with the Yanmar 35, 3 cylinder, including new Yanmar cockpit
control
panel. None of the engine equipment is Capital Yacht installed.
More data: Engine is not running hot. Coolant level is normal. Water
is
being discharged overboard normally. Oil level is full. No bilge alarm
since I've owned the boat i10 years ago. Level switch kicking on bilge
pump
is functional. Boat is in Marina del Rey.
I'm at a loss. Does anyone have a manual describing this alarm???

What in the world is a Water Proof alarm????
I have a 1994 Yanmar 35HP 3 cylinder diesel in my 1977 Newport 41. The
Water Proof alarm won't stop. I have no earthly idea what this
indicates.
It is the fourth light from the right going left on the cockpit panel.
An
audible alarm sounds as well. It started very feebly intermittently
initially, now it is constant.
The only thing I have done differently recently is running about 10
gallons
of biodiesel through the engine. I wish I hadn't.
Anybody have any experience with a Yanmar Water Proof Alarm??
Greg
