1977 Evinrude 55hp Adding gauges

[DamianJP]

Hey all

I want to add a Temp and water pressure gauge to this engine. The motor has this sender in the head, see pic. Which temp gauge will work with this sender?

Is there a place I can tie into the water system to get a PSI reading with a gauge?

Thanks ,
DamianJP

(Caveat: I am not an expert) I think that "sender" is just an open or closed circuit to drive the overheat buzzer in your control box. I do not think it can be used to drive a gauge. You can buy gauges that come with (or separately) a sender that mounts on a little bracket that makes contact with the head. I found a pic:

Cool Thank You Ezmobee

Cool seems easy to install. Are those kind accurate even tho its not embedded into head like the other one?

Can I install a water PSI gauge on this motor?

Thanks,
