Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
You might be able to rent one at your local parts store. I rented a vacuum tester at Oreilly's for 6 bux, and it worked good for testing my lower unit.
I tore the valve stem off an old bike tube and grund the rubber end to a sligt taper that will screw in the plug hole quite well. Then use the bike pump with the guage on it. Worked pretty well.<br /><br />But if ya want the real stuff try http://www.stevensinstrument.com/
