Optimax sensors

Greetings All
I have just bean out on our new boat. It has a 2005 150 opti, scanning through the smart gauge screens I noticed no oil pressure/temp??? is there a sensor for this on the engine ?
I did read in the Gauge manual that not all engine in the 115-175 group have them.
Or shall I start to get worried?

All the smartcraft info is user selectable. If you get a user manual for the gauges it'll show you how to select and deselect all the different info.
online manual here:

It's a 2 stroke.
You don't have oil pressure on 2 strokes
