Just purchased our first pontoon, it's a 2005 Bentley 20' w/ a 90hp Mercury 2 stroke. Its the 200 fish model. I have a question, there is a PSI gauge on the dash, what is that for?

More than likely its the motor water pressure in the 15 to 30 psi range scale.

Yeap, have to agree with MHHawker that it is a water pressure guage. I have one on my boat but never have hooked it up since I did a motor upgrade on her about 5 years ago for a bigger horsepower one and did the swapping/rigging myself. All I have to do is purchase a T fitting for it and i am in business. The rubber hose to connect it up is laying in the bottom of the engine lower cowling so when I get that fitting I will finish installing it but for now I just once in a while look to see if she is peeing water out the tale-tale on the motor itself.

Ok.. thanks! I thought that might be it but was unsure.
