Hi all, I just recently got a boat with a 5.7 Mercruiser. It seems my temp gauge is not working. I checked the resistance in the temp sensor and it shows 700 ohms, which seems to be what the chart says it should be. When I turn on the ignition, the gauge needle actually goes slightly backwards from 0 position. Could it be that the previous owner had tried to fix it and switched polarity?! Unfortunately I did not have time(a lot of screws to remove) to take the gauge apart the past weekend, but that'll be my task the coming weekend.
Any suggestions?
