And, it hasn't for the last couple of seasons; I know, shame on me since it's important to know if the engine is frying.
The boat is a 90' Four Winns Freedom 195 with a 4.3 OMC (BTW: the outdrive has been good to me so far). I had a remanned long block put in it two seasons ago when I bought it. Perhaps, the guy who flipped the engines didn't tighten down the connection well enough. I think I've noticed it worked maybe once or twice over that time but now I've got to fix it. Looked at the aftermarket service manual (Chilton, I believe) on the engine and I can't seem to find where the temp gauge leads go to on the engine so I can test the gauge- -which I'm not all that sure about either. Can anyone give me a definite spot on the engine to find the temp sender unit? I believe it's got to be on the lower end of the block near the drain cocks but I don't remember seeing it last winter while draining the block for winter. Thanks in advance for any help out there.
