I have yet another question. I searched the forums but didnt find the answer. On my boat i have a temperaturte dummy light on the dash. I would like to install a gauge. I tryed to find the sending unit on the motor to see how hard it was to change it but dont see it. I looked in the manual but didnt see it. I do see a wire that just dissapears into the head. Is that it?? I read a great thread on here somewhere about making a z braket and stuff. I guess if that is it i might need to go that route. Thanks for the help.<br /><br /><br /> http://members.aol.com/shane733/tempwire.jpg

That's where the temp switch is. There is a slice connector in the wire not far from the switch, if you ground it, with the igniton key on the light on the dash should light up.
