On my 1995 Johnson 130 heads there is an empty threaded hole near the top which I have been told is for a temp sending unit. I would like to install temp guages, but cannot find any information on where to get the proper sending unit or guage for it. Any ideas?

You can usually pick up the sending unit and gauge as a set in any marine store.

Re: Temp guage installation

The only ones I have seen at stores are the contact the mount onder a head bold and just touch the head to sense the temp. I bought two of these pieces of excreetment and installed them. In a very short time, first trip out, both sensors fell out of their holders rendering them useless. What a cheesy setup. I want the ones that screw into the head.
