Oil Pressure
#3
Careful not to overfill. If you have too much oil the crank will whip the oil causing it to become aerated and oil pressure will fluctuate and drop. Where is she reading on the dipstick? Better off just above the ADD then to be over the FULL.

A quick & easy way to rule out the gauge is to switch them at the helm (a nice thing about having twins). If the erratic readings follow the gauge, then it's the gauge, if the erratic readings stay with the engine then it's the sender/engine issue.
