While starting up the port engine last weekend my water temp gauge was already showing 180F...Since that was the first time I thought perhaps it was stuck and I used the backend of a screwdriver to tap it to see it it would go down....
No joy...
So, I pulled the dash and switched the wires on the two gauges and sure enough the port side read properly on the stbd gauge....
I decided to order all four new gauges as I don't know how long these will be in production. And now I installed the new ones and have three spares for worst case...I think I'll open the bad one and investigate if it can be fixed....
It's the simple things...
