This engine would be typically be found in similarly equipped CM30 & CM32 Sailboats.
This is a you tube video I found of the correct engine, but not of a Clipper Marine.
The end of the video, shows a killed engine, and notice the audible alarm? That shows the key is in the on position, and there is no oil pressure. You would also get this alarm when the engine is about to be started. Once the oil pressure comes up, the alarm goes out.
While using this engine, if that alarm comes on, best to turn off the engine quickly and find out the source of no oil pressure.
