Hello boating community,
I am extremely new to boating and I have a 14-ft pontoon boat with a 2008 Mercury 15 hp outboard motor. I am learning new things every day about owning and operating a boat engine. It's completely different from what I'm used to, so any help would be appreciated.
A friend of mine told me that I need to have three different gauges on my pontoon boat. I have been operating my boat with out any gauges at the moment. He told me I needed the following three gauges:
On to my questions:

- Volt meter
- Tachometer
- Water Pressure
On to my questions:
- How do these gauges hook into my outboard engine?
- I'm assuming with a certain Mercury cable, so what cable do I need to buy?
- What brand gauges do I need to buy?
- Are there any other gauges that I absolutely need or that you would recommend?
Thanks for your help! Ciao.
