1983 175hp sea horse
have most wired and good to go, but i do have a couple questions on a few:
Tach: is the grey wire on the oem three pin to the oem tach the sending wire that needs to go to the new gauge? gauge instructions say to set the tach to "5" setting, yet old gauge was at the "6," is this standardized, or do the values change from brand to brand?
Trim: off the tilt/trim control box comes a harness that had two wires going to the old gauge. One is white and the other black. am i ok just hooking the white one to the gauge, or does the black one serve a purpose beyond providing the ground? (i have all gauges wired already except the sending units)
Water temp: is there an oem location to remove a bolt and install a standard 1/8" npt sending unit, or would this require a drill and tap (i would prefer to avoid this)?
Water psi: is there an oem location to remove a bolt and install the feed fitting for the psi gauge, or should i just install a T in the pee hose between the motor and the outlet?
Thank you
