I have a 1998 Johnson 175 ficht fast strike and I would like to install a water pressure gauge on it, but I have no idea where to connect the hose to the motor. I'm pretty green so pictures would help as well. Thanks everyone!

I found a plug on the port head of my 1998 Johnny 150HP carb model, near the top. Easy as pie.

Your FICHT will have different heads, but look there anyway.

I'll have to look harder, there is so much stuff all over this motor, it hard to see what's what. Thx

Should be a little brass pipe plug.

Edit: check that, when I look at the stock kit it comes with this....so I would look there.
