I recently bought a 2003 Skeeter with a 2003 Yamaha V Max 150 2 stroke. I want to install a water pressure gauge but not sure where to install the fitting on the engine. Does anyone have a picture showing the correct location for the fitting?

Just an FYI of my experience. I have a F150 hp and also wanted to monitor water pressure. After installing everything the gauge didn't register any pressure, I don't remember the range. I was told that the cooling system is high volume/low pressure. Unless you have a gauge that reads very low pressure it may not work, but it may work for you since you have a different motor. Do some research first and find out what the running water pressure of your motor is.

Thanks for the information. I’ll research more before moving forward.
