Red Light

[Brianboat]

Hi All
I’ve recently bought a second hand 20hp Mercury engine (about 10hours running time) but I haven’t taken it out on the water yet. When I turned it on this morning, there’s a red light staying continuously on (not flashing). Is this something to be worried about?

I have a smaller Mercury engine and the red light is the low oil pressure light. Make sure the oil level is correct and then try to start the engine. The light should go out after a couple of seconds
