Just curious where to drill to install a water pressure gauge. My boat doesn't have a water pressure plug to use and I need to tap my own. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Patrick

Don't bother. The water pressure is far less than 1 psi since there's no thermostat. Even the thermostated Big Twins run hardly any pressure.

A tell tale outlet can be added though.
