    Empty gauge spot

    Well Since I installed the new motor and the heads-up display I now have a non woking trim gauge (No longer hooked up) Im just taking advice on what gauge I should put in place of the trim gauge , so far I have the standard set up, oil press, water temp, volts, fuel, tach, speed, keep in mind that I have a 500 efi and need to make sure whatever gauge I put in it must attach to this motor.


    Thanks For any Input Blake Sullivan

    Yes the boats are hanging over the water and no slip fee's except what the sate charges each year cause the boat house is behind the casa, I was thinking oil temp since I already have a depth gauge as long as I can adapt one to my motor,

    +1. both meaningful. I think I'd take the water pressure first because it is mechanical so easy to hook up and it is very worth while at showing if there are impeller problems.

    Water Pressure. On boosted boats, I would say oil temp first.

    I was going to suggest a boost gauge....but it might be a bit over-budget.
