i'm looking to add a temperature gauge to my 86 mercury black max 135 .... is there a difference between auto and boat gauges - as long as i buy a compatible sending unit ? are the threads / hole size pretty standard ? ... if i have to use a marine gauge, is there a difference between an i/o ( mercruiser ) and an outboard ?
I have the gauge for a boat if you want it, you can have it just pay shipping from Florida, from one Ma$$hole to another LOLQuote:

sorry no sending unit, a marine shop was downsizing and I bought a whole panel of gauges for a boat and I bought them (10) for $25, he said they all work, they were Tach,fuel,volt,temp etc. just shoot me your addy and I will send it to you free of charge if you want it, if not no problem I can send you a pic if you want
sounds great... price is right - i'll have to find a sending unit, but i'm not sure what to look for - a pic would be great also...thank you very much
sent you an email through PM
gage is usualy 2 1/8 hole size/ outboards are diff than I/os
thanks joe....bugman, i dont know if you received anything from me... i'm not so good with technology :doh:
hey joe, i just realized when you were responding to my question about hole size you may have thought i meant the gauge - i was asking about the threads/ hole for the sending unit into motor block...is that a standard size ?
gauge on the way via UPS should have it by Monday, if it doesn't work sell it or give to someone else. I will PM you with tracking #Quote:
