Water Pressure Guage Question for OBJ

[ezeke]

I'm getting a J/E water pressure gauge this AM for my 1988 140 v4 looper. It has the original thermostat configuration. <br /><br />I'm looking for any advice on the best place to tie in the line even if I need to tap.<br /><br />Thanks

Morning ezeke....up early testing the oil? <br /><br />Usually you tap into the overboard (telltale) hose. On the 140, make sure you get into the hose coming from the block and not the t-stats. Look for the little screw in elbow on the block...this is the tell tale fitting.<br /><br />I'm thinking, depending on the how good the pump is, you could see 6 > 12 psi at WOT.

Good Morning to you too, sir, and thanks for the info.<br /><br />The water will hit 50 degrees here soon, so the striped bass will be back. I'm ready. <br /><br />I put in a new pump and thermostats, seats etc. last fall. This motor has been unbelievably good and I want to keep it that way.<br /><br />Thanks again.
