    Temp. guage question

    I have a 1998 Jonson 150 hp. moter.

    Would it be benifial to install temp guages on each of my heads?

    If you are as persnickety about your engine as I am about mine, then in my opinion, it is a good idea. However, some will say they would not bother. After installing temperature sensors on both heads and adding a gauge for each head on mine, I found that I needed to replace both thermostats, both were running cold.



    Best regards,
    If you can't run with the big dogs, just stay on the porch.

    You are more than welcome. This is my answer for temperature concerns for my engine. I do a lot of idling and temperature will creep up quickly while idling if anything is amiss. Therefore, I can monitor both heads and water pressure at the same time.
