Water pressure gauge

[Mirko]

I have a 1994 Johnson 115 HP.<br /><br />I have read on this forum about installing a water pressure gauge. Sure sounds like a good idea. I am having the water pump impeller replaced this week (kit) just for the hell of it as it hasn't been done in 2 years. Sure would like to get an indication as to when it's needed as opposed to just doing it blind.<br /><br />In any event, can someone point me to instructions as to how to install such a gauge.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Mirko

Re: Water pressure gauge

The guage you purchase should come with full installation instructions. Be sure that you get a guage that will register up to 30 lbs pressure. It will not have a sensor-just a water hose that will connect to the telltale water outlet on the rear of the engine. Pretty easy job.

I wouldn't wait until you notice the pressure drop on the gauge before you replace your next pump, could be too late by that point. Every 2 or 3 seasons is a better way to go.
