Who has a late model Sun Tracker with a Water Pressure gauge? There is a plastic tube (3/16 or 1/4") attached to the back of the gauge. What does the other end attach to? The engine is a 60 hp Bigfoot.

Re: Sun Tracker gauge

I've had two Sun Trackers with that guage. I can't say definitively where the other end goes, but it must be near the engine block where pressurized water is present.

Re: Sun Tracker gauge

It "Tee's" into the telltale line as shown in the picture. Although this installation used common brass fittings available at any hardware store, a simple plastic T-fitting can be used. However, finding one with hose barb sizes to match the two hoses is difficult. The brass configuration also allows a straight shot connection for the two lines. The water pressure line is the smaller of the two.

1/8 NPT plug right in front of the thermostat housing. Port side of engine right near the top of the block.
