Can anyone recommend me to such a thing? I would like a temp gauge in my dashboard and the temp sensor on my 75hp Evinrude. The high heat sensor and buzzer that come factory are just not safe enough in my opinion.

If the alarm buzzes when you turn the key on the system works and it is simple and reliable. If it is not working, fix it. But since you want a temp gauge and associated wiring that may also have issues, Faria and Teleflex both have outboard temp gauges and the matching sender. Note I said SENDER. The sensor on the engine right now is merely a switch that is open under normal conditons (no alarm). If the engine overheats the switch snaps closes sounding the alarm buzzer. The temp sender required with a gauge is a resistive element (30 - 240 ohms). The gauge reading is based on the resistance of the sender at the time.
Re: Aftermarket outboard cylinder head temperature sensor?
Teleflex makes one and you have to bolt the sensor to the motor. Not sure how reliable it is. I prefer a water pressure gauge over a temperature gauge for a 2 stroke.
