Re: Hooking water pressure gauge

I just put one in my Johnson 115, and I put a "T" in the tell tale hose. It worked OK, but I only had 1/2 the pressure that I should....which makes sense.

The tell tale seems useless to me, so I took the "T' out and just ran the tell tale output directly into the gauge...now I have correct pressure at idle and at speed.

If you don't have a tell tale hose, you can usually look for a plug in the water jacket to remove or you can drill your own hole.

Is the tell tale hose the pee hose from out the side of the motor?
