Oil filters can have internal faults right out of the box: first change the sender, then do an oil filter change.
Both are quick and inexpensive diagnostics. Fill the filter with oil (or better, ATF) before installing it.

APS, has the first two imediate questions right on the money....
the third question is did you do the last service on the boat or did a Marina.... I beleive a lot in self diagnosing and working on my own possessions. However if you had the boat winterized and the oil changed professionally at the end of last season, you need to have them look at the boat as soon as possible. The longer you work on diagnosing the problem, the less likely they are to take care of any error on their part.
