I have a 1986 3.7L Mercruiser that reads 180-200 F on the dash gauge. I don't think it's acurate. I replaced the sender last year and I don't think it's the right one. It is however reading the same thing the old sender was. I've been checking the temp manually with a IR gauge.
Which leads to the point of the thread. Manual says to check it with a direct reading gauge at the sender. According to the readings there the engine is at the temp it should be which is 160s after a haul. Is checking it at the sender with an IR gauge an appropriate method of confirming or is there some heat lost through the brass sender that is giving me a false reading?
Thanks.
