    Water Pressure Gauge...Hard to change?

    Hey guys, I have a 2004 Stratos 285 Magnum with a 175 HP Johnson Bombardier V6 2-Stroke...My water pressure gauge stays on 5 psi all the time until I give it throttle then it works fine, but even with the motor off it still sets on 5 psi...Do you think i need a new gauge?...If so, are they hard to change out?.....Sorry for no serial #, if I need one I will post tomorrow....thanks

    No problem to change, as long as you can get to the back of the guage. Take off the water hose, pull out the light bulb, and undo the two nuts holding it to the dash. The guage will come out the front of the dash. Put in a new guage and reverse the order. Go fishing.
    Just can't leave well enough alone!!

    Hey BBF! I got your seats put aside for you. If you should happen to get a chance, slide that gauge out and call me with the part # on the side of it. I will make sure I have one in stock for you when you get up here. Don't forget to bring Julie some snow!!
