INSTRUMENT
PANEL
INSTALLATION
The remote instrument panel has two sending
units
to
be
installed on the engine block, a water temperature sender and
an
oil pressure gauge sender. Plugged ports for each are
located on the engine.
The
water temperature sender is
installed in the thennostat housing and the oil pressure sender
is adjacent to the oil pressure switch.
Use sealing compound
on the threads
of
both senders. Electrical connections for
each sender are tied
off
next to the senders location ( in
the
wiring harness).
The blue wire is for the oil pressure sender and the
tan wire
is for the water temperature sender.
If
there is a jumper
between terminal board connections
T-1
and
T-2,
it should
be
removed. Refer to the REMOTE INSTRUMENT WIRING
DIAGRAM
in this manual.
NOTE:
When
installing the optional remote panels, it is
the
installers responsibility to comply with the
U.S.
Coast Guard
standards
33
CFR
part 183.
