Get the sender at your local Evinrude/Johnson dealer, Teleflex, or Faria or so a search for "outboard temperature sender". Make sure you get a sender for an outboard. There is only one wire to contend with. It runs from the sender to the gauge. Then the gauge needs +12V when the key is on and ground. Those two wires can be attached to the +12V and ground terminals on any of the other gauges (fuel or tach).
