Hello, I have a 1993 xr6 elpto 150 hp. Serial # OD254478. I ordered a mercury water pressure kit # 79-895288A21 ( 1 to 15 psi gauge ).
Where is the correct location to tap into the motor for water pressure?

wrong kit needs to really be 30psi , prob run pegged at wot all time and wont show excess wpsi,tee in hose at top of block just behind fly wheel that connects to poppet ,tee needs to be at top of block

I HAD CALLED MERCURY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY WATER PRESSURE SHOULD BE ABOUT 12PSI AT 5500 RPM. I ORDERED THAT ONE SO PRESSURE LOSS CAN BE SEEN EASILY. I READ POST AFTER POST OF DEBATES ON THIS. LOL. BUT IF IT RUNS PEGGED LIKE YOU SAID, I CAN JUST REPLACE THE GAUGE WITHOUT HAVING TO RUN ANOTHER HOSE TO ENGINE.
I WAS CONFUSED AS TO WHERE TO TAP INTO.

10-4 understood id rather see 15 ,watch any long sweeping turns at 12, if you get a sudden spike in psi could be steam = not good

I ordered the 2 -30 psi kit. Will be returning the 1-15 kit.
Thank you

Hey everyone, just an update, i went with the 2 to 30 psi gauge like Joe suggested and glad i did. i installed Tee connector that came with kit at top of block. ( The hose that feeds the poppet valve right behind flywheel. as mercury said, i had about 12 to 14 psi at 5500 rpms. but went to 20 psi at WOT and 5psi at idle. thanks for the advice Joe!20190819_174840.jpg20190819_174825.jpg

Is there a photograph of this location on the motor available that someone could post?
