Pressure guage or whizzer?? Salt or fresh water? Profile??
I'd go with the whizzer.
It's almost free if you have a couple of fittings and a piece of hose.
Make sure that when you drill the hole through the cover it can be seen from the drivers seat.

I believe you can drill either the bottom leg cover or the motor cover. The motor cover may be a little more challenging to line up the pisser outlet every time you remove or replace the engine cover. There are some really good threads on this topic. I looked into it last summer, with fittings from Home Depot I was looking at about 10 dollars. I didn?t actually do it but maybe this summer.

Not hijacking, just wondering if the gauge is hard to install.

Does the sensor go into the water port at the top of the motor where you would plumb a pisser?

Also, if there is a plug in the system will it continue to show pressure?

Don't drill the thermo cover. There is a flush screw on the top of the block right behind the thermo. You remove the screw and put your pisser tube there. Don't buy a 90 deg. fitting, it won't screw on. You have to go with a straight and flex your tube to the exit of your choice.
