I have installed guage in my boat. I belive it was allmost a waste of time as I have not seen the engine come up on temp much. temp guage starts out at 100 degrease the engine seems to run less than that. If I was to replace it I would get one that starts at 50* and goes up to 200* or so. I have not had boat out for more than 30 minutes so far so maybe the next time I go I will be out their a few hours and hope to see temp come up a little. guage kit is new and I have tested it so I know it works. :cheers:
