Help... new to me 21 HP has a couple hiccups.. the Speedo and water pressure gauge not working. I think its this sender (mechanical to electrical). The Speedo has a pressure rating of 200 psi and the water pressure at 30 psi. What are these called and where can I buy them.. no numbers, just psi stamped into them.
Tested the two gauges by adding direct ground, which pegged both (independently), so I think that means the gauge is good and sender is bad?

Post on mercury 3.0L forum & Don Weed or one of the other experts will provide you troubleshooting tips. I’ve received some great Optimax advice there.

I think a lot of the senders are straight 40psi rated. I'd check the water tube going from water pressure gauge to engine. On mine there is a tee back at the engine that can be easily taken apart. Really should blow through the console end. I have a for year old boat and I've gone through two senders. last boat 18yrs like two senders and I didn't drain the tube every year at winterization.

I just would like to know who builds the gauges / sender, if I knew, prolly could locate one.
