Where to install temp sensor on Yamaha 175 v-max

[Hogislandoysterman]

Can’t find the port for the sensor for our 175 v-max

What kind of 175 VMAX?
V175, VZ175, VF175?

175VF SHO four stroke, was told it was next to the zone on the port side but can’t find it?
Thanks

what are you calling the zone

 

[boscoe99]

What is the issue with providing the model identity?

 

[boscoe99]

what are you calling the zone

End zone. Twilight zone. No parking zone. No standing zone.

Who the hell knows. Can't even get the model of the motor.

Sorry the zinc not zone, I think they where talking about the andode bottom right on the port side under the starter

 

[boscoe99]

The existing thermostat cover is removed and replaced by one that has a port into which the temperature sender/sensor is installed.

Presumption being that you are referring to the use of a Yamaha standalone temperature gauge.

The model of your motor by the way is VF175XA. Very important. Write this down in your owner's manual.

Thanks bosco99, try to get a manual from the Yamaha dealer and it’s three weeks out. That really helps
