    Temp gauge install

    Don, im wanting to install a temp gauge in my boat and i was looking at the manual and it say's to use the tan wire. my ? is the tan wire is being used but i do have a tan/white and a tan/black. any help would be appreciated.

    I noticed comming off the key switch there is a tan and also a tan/blue. Should i use the tan wire for the gauge?

    Try connecting to the Tan wire in the keyswitch harness. That's the temp "sender" wire.
