I bought a used Skeeter bass boat with a '91 Mercury 200 hp, carbed motor. The water pressure gauge is inoperable, in fact the needle is on the wrong side of the zero pressure peg. I need to buy a new gauge, what max pressure gauge should I be looking for?

'cmon Faz! 3 ta 5 at idle (in tha water, not ona hose)... 12 ta 14 at speed are very minimums.......all depends on pump health and motor height.
