Water pressure gauge installation - need advice

[TonyNoriega]

The engine is a 2001 200hpdi and there is already a water gauge at the console, and it works fine. I have bought a 2nd gauge for the tower station but I could use some help installing it.

Anyone know where I can acquire the clear plastic tubing (it looks to be about 1/8th inch....maybe a little larger in diameter)? And what device would I use to tie into the existing tubing?

Thanks in advance for your help! Tony

Use a brass "T" available in th plumbing department of any home improvement store (Lowes, Home Depot, etc) or your local hardware store. The tubing is the same as pitot speedometer tubing and is available at Cabelas, Bass Pro, or probably right here on iBoats. Ice maker tubing is available at home improvement stores as well.

so you could put in water pressure gauge with a brass t and a some ice machine hose hahaha... where do you put the brass tee? And what pressure would be normal

A pet store would have the tube as well in the fish dept. the air tubing for fish tanks that would work too. You could put the T anywhere but my 2 cents would be to put it as close to the gauges as possible. The farthest point away from the motor you can get it.
