Low oil and coolant lights
This looks like a neat kit:

I still think an audible alarm is superior. I may look around and see if I can find a kit designed for boat engines.

A guy I used to work for had a wife, that for some reason, had a mental block about warning lights and toasted the engine of their fairly new station wagon, I think that was not her "first". Anyway, being his own "port engineer" for his small tugboat co. he rigged up an audible alarm system like on the boats where you have alarms for everything but "low level in the coffee pot" The only trouble with those systems is if you forgot to turn them off before stopping the engines the LOUD alarm goes off, low oil pressure, and when you fired up you must turn them on. Yes, a system for your boat is a good idea cause on a dark night there is other things to be looking out for and watching gauges sometimes is not the priority, "oh damn, I know that breakwater is around here someplace.

Here's a high quality, inexpensive oil pressure/water temperature audible alarm kit. Don Moyer is a very reputable mechanic. For $49 it seems like a bargain. My only question is whether it can be plumbed into the existing systems on a Mercedes diesel. I don't think it could fitted just as supplied because I believe the oil pressure holes on the Atomic 4 engine for which it was designed are 1/8 NPT.
Anybody have any thoughts on whether it is adaptable? http://www.moyermarine.com/accesskits.html
