Have never had one go safe mode- the oil is a pressure system and Mike replaced my whole hose system on mine so I have had no problems - he will ship parts to you at below local dealer prices on stuff like that. He will at least answer some questions you have in that case too - 727 938 9796 and tell him I said to call,I'll mention it also - if you make a list of stuff you need and have him ship it he will help you on the phone with stuff
Not sure what Jason (Merc guy) saw that was iffy on mine but said it needed to go - I never doubt them, thats why it hasn't ever been back in 2 yrs I guess
Make sure the cap is tight and sealed good, mine will pump oil all over the place quick when I took it off to check an alarm ( was the water in the fuel alarm)
