    Reading (Zero) water pressure

    My 2004 225HPDI is showing zero water pressure on the dash board guage, no reading what so ever. She is peeing fine with plenty of water coming out, I have ran it 3 days now with no problem. But I am still nervous, should I be??, and what do you think the problem could be? Thanks.

    Gauge froze during the winter. Need to replace it.

    That’s your call but I think you Need to. I'd like to know when running down the lake if I lost water pressure. The alarm would tell you this as well but I like redundancy.

    I need to replace mine as well...however it still "works". It just zeroes at 10psi and goes up from there....

    I would suggest replacing the guage, it's a small price compared to what could go wrong with low or no water pressure, just my 2 cents.

    Re: Reading (Tonyc)

    Also check you've not got a kink in your line which runs from the top right side of the motor to your gauge.

    It's most likely a bad gauge but when i've had one go bad it usually still works but doesn't go back to zero. Don't forget to zip tie the line to the new gauge otherwise you'll end up getting wet pants when running

    Also, check to see if your gauge is under warranty... i had one froze from faria and i sent it back and received a freee replacement
