Can I use this temp gauge?

I am putting all new gauges in my boat, and I obviously prefer that they all be from the same manufacturer.

I am looking at the Faria Euro White series, but they only offer what they call a Water Temp Gauge? I actually want to have two Cylinder Head Temp gauges, and my question is will these work?

I suspect that they might, if I use an appropriate thermocouple bolted on to each head.

If not, can anyone suggest where I might find a dual unit of some type? I think I have seen single gauges that measure both banks of cylinders. These have one needle on the right side of the gauge, and one on the left side of the gauge.

Thanks

The standard threaded 30 - 240 ohm senders can function as cylinder head temp senders using a "z" bracket from Faria. You cannot connect both senders to one gauge. You need two gauges or a selector switch to select one sender at a time.

Understood, thanks Silvertip! So I can use two of the gauges, with two sending units, and measure both cylinder head temps.
