water pressure gauge

MIbasser · 04-13-08, 11:14 PM

I noticed that our boat does not have a water pressure gauge on the council. Is this something that I could install myself as an aftermarket gauge or would this be left to the pro's at the dealership? Also, if you recommend that this is something that I could do, what brand/type should I get? Oh, the boat is a Triton 17 Explorer with a 90 merc. Thanks.

Oh, this is just a pic. from the showroom boat... I still don't have mine yet, maybe next week (I hope).

From what I see in the picture that looks like a nock out plug for one right below your graph there might be a hose pre run and putting a fitting in the engine is easy

Not to sound tp harsh but DO IT. Plaine and simple water.clean fuel and good oil keeps our outboards running happily and trouble free or as much as possibkle. A water PSI gauge is a MUST in my book.Even more so on a boat with trim capapabilities. Easy to do. Stick with the gauges that compliment your boat or the ones that are installed in it. Its very easy to do and if the hose is not prerun (I doubt it is) the hose is easy as well as the gauge. Yes thats a knockout where boater said for a gauge.
