Reply To: Installing a telltale

[amuller]

It´s interesting to go back to this thread after an actual overheating experience.

Am very glad to have the telltale. While imperfect it gives a strong degree of confidence that water is pumping.

Where I put it, near the back of the pan pointing down, is not really convenient for monitoring from the steering position. It needs to shoot sideways or up like a jetski. An easy fix.

I looked up water pressure gauges and they seem to be 0 to15 psi or 0 to 30 psi. https://www.iboats.com/shop/searchrabbit/result/?q=water+pressure+gauge Will put a gauge on the telltale line and see what readings I get.
