Re: johnson water pressure

As a starter go to the teleflex web site. I only recommend them because I have used both their products and website. I installed one of their waterpressure gauges and it worked great.<br /><br />On the web site you'll find on-line product descriptions as well as on-line installation instructions (therefore you can get an idea if it's feasible for you) and somewhere in there, there is a chart of expected water pressures for various makes of outboard. I found it to be accurate for mine.
