New Thermostat
Hi All,
I replaced the thermostat, took her out for a run, and as before the gauges (helm and bridge) read 160 deg F. I shot the infrared heat gun at the thermostat and it read 178. So now I'm satisfied with the actual engine temp.
Which brings me to my next thought. I replaced all the gauges in the helm and on the bridge with Siera heavy duty gauges. After doing some research, I see there is such a thing as a dual gauge sending unit. I didn't know that and wired the gauges as I found them. If the sending unit I have is for a single gauge and I piggy backed the bridge gauge off the helm gauge, would it possibly read low?
I am going to replace the sender with a Siera dual gauge unit advertised for the gauge set I have. Same goes for the oil pressure gauges... Thoughts?
