    If your P/H was a "full dress" unit....

    Analog temp gauge can be added, utilizing the TAN wire in the gauge harness (as the sender lead).

    Also, you could utilize a Smartcraft Setup (temp is going to be AUTOMATIC in this case). You might consider adding a MercMonitor.... get in touch with me (when you have access to your boat), and I'll help you determine (for certain) that this can be done.

    I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it.

    Really need some info on your current gauges (if you want to try to make a close match, that is). There's literally DOZENS of possibilities, depending on Manufacturer, face color, bezel color, etc.

    You'd be welcome to snap a picture of your dash, and post or email it (address in profile).
