Water pressure gauge kit for my Johnson?
« on: November 07, 2007, 04:19:13 PM »
Looking to add a water pressure gauge fo my 2003 175hp 2 stroke.

Not sure what exactly to get. Could someone point me in the right direction as far as a cheap kit (gauge, hose, etc) for my outboard?

I do know where I can get the sender for the engine pretty cheap, so just looking for at least the gauge + hose/wiring.

I believe teleflex makes some good inexpensive stuff, but not sure of what exactly I need.

Thanks.

After all the jokes you need some advice.  The water pressure gauges I have worked with use a small diameter hose (like the ones used on a speedometer with a pitot tube) that leads to the gauge on the dash.  You need to find where to connect to the water jacket to connect it.  Mys last engines had a fitting that you could remove to connect the gauge.

Damn, your a 2 pump chump?  Poor wife of yours!!!   rofl

  All kidding aside, all I can vouch for is the Teleflex.  Replaced my guages back in '99 with a Teleflex tach, oil pressure and water temp guage. Worked flawlessly since then and the price was pretty cheap.  Bought them from SurplusUnlimited.com

Thanks, looks like I might have the Johnson problems sorted out now :)

Picked up a sender on Ebay, now just have to find a cheap gauge kit.

All kidding aside. You shouldn't need a sender. If you get the gauge. There is a brass fitting with a 90 degree elbow on it. That goes on the right rear of the egine. A tube to carry the water then goes up to the gauge. The wiring is for the lights to the gauge.
teleflex carries an assortment of water pressure gauges for around $70-$80.
