What range of pressure gauge should I get for my 130HP V4 looper?

[D0T-C0M]

I have a 1995 johnson 130HP outboard that I want to install a remote pressure gauge in my dash to monitor my water pump pressure. My question is I see there a gauge on ebay but there is a variety of pressure ranges that they come in. What is the pressure range that I should get, 0-15PSI, 0-30 PSI, 0-50PSI or 0-60PSI?

My '98 60* 150HPV6 pegs my 30 PSI Gauge at high RPMs. Since I only care if I have water pressure, and not about the PSI (above 20 PSI), that one serves me well. If your motor is a 90* motor, I have heard (only heard) that water pressure is a bit lower than my motor.

Get the 0-50 psi and you should be okay. Not good for a gauge to be pegged all the time.

@boobie agreed

Can someone confirm what a v4 looper nominal pressure should be? I also don't want to get a 0-50 psi gauge and only have a nominal pressure of 10 PSI and hardly register on the gauge.

I just looked up some water pressure specs on the newer mtr's and I take back my 0-50 psi comment. You should be okay with the 0-30 psi gauge.

Thanks again you've always been most helpful every time I post a question.
