Never had an outboard before now. My Yamaha 250 Max doesn’t have a temperature gauge on dashboard, why?

Most outboard don't use them, relying on the tell tale (pisser) to advise on the presence of water pressure. There's no reason you couldn't install a temp sending unit a gauge. Water pressure gauges work well too, letting you monitor the pressure for any unexplained drop.

If you are more familiar with inboards or I/O's, betting you don't switch back....
