One drives the boat and the other watches the gauge. you can rig the gauge on a hose to the cabin and someone can watch the gauge as you run. it just might be the sending unit or gauge, but would you like to know for sure what...

I would still put a mechanical gauge in it to make sure I would hate to see you turn a bearing. That old oil in there can eat the bearings up, there is a lot of acid in dirty oil. I still don't understand why people store a boat with dirty oil in it, I guess they just expect things not to fail and r...
