How to Add a Temp Gauge to an Outboard Motor

[@felonebike9859]

I appreciate this video. Super handy!

You could add a dab of thermal adhesive to the bottom of that temp sender. Same stuff they use to glue led chips to aluminum heat sinks.

Good information! Thanks

Thanks for the info. I have an older 90hp evinrude and it's a great motor, but it overheated last fall and I couldn't hear the stupid little buzzer in the shifter going off with the motor running. I put a new water pump and thermostat in it but it's nice to know there's a simple way to monitor head temp constantly. Getting one today. Did the sensor itself stay attached to the metal tab? Thanks again

Where can I get the sender? I found the gauge in the walmart website but it looks like it doesn't come with the sender.

solder, tinned wire and shrink wrap

Do you have a link or part number for the sending unit

[@philniemi4746]

Part number for the whole assy is at the start of the video. 13009. Sending unit itself is probably not sold separately.

Looks like Jensen beach florida

Your getting water jacket temp not head temp. You are not getting a true reading

[@philniemi4746]

This is not intended as a true temp reading. Just a point of reference so you can tell when the engine is at full operating temp and tell if engine starts going above that temp (overheating).

I guarantee it'll show a temperature rise at anything above normal .....thats the goal....I'd rather see it on the dash creeping up above "normal" than to wait on that may work buzzer....😂😅
