How to Add a Temp Gauge to an Outboard Motor

This video I hope helps someone who desires a temp gauge on their outboard. Video production qualities are lacking but hopefully viewers will get the idea.
I ended up putting some epoxy on the sender button to hold it in place on the sender bracket.

Good information! Thanks

You could add a dab of thermal adhesive to the bottom of that temp sender. Same stuff they use to glue led chips to aluminum heat sinks.

I appreciate this video. Super handy!

solder, tinned wire and shrink wrap

Thanks for the info.
I have an older 90hp evinrude and it's a great motor, but it overheated last fall and I couldn't hear the stupid little buzzer in the shifter going off with the motor running. I put a new water pump and thermostat in it but it's nice to know there's a simple way to monitor head temp constantly. Getting one today. Did the sensor itself stay attached to the metal tab?
Thanks again

Looks like Jensen beach florida

Where can I get the sender? I found the gauge in the walmart website but it looks like it doesn't come with the sender.

Do you have a link or part number for the sending unit

[@philniemi4746]

Part number for the whole assy is at the start of the video. 13009. Sending unit itself is probably not sold separately.

Your getting water jacket temp not head temp. You are not getting a true reading

[@philniemi4746]

This is not intended as a true temp reading. Just a point of reference so you can tell when the engine is at full operating temp and tell if engine starts going above that temp (overheating).
