How hard would it be to add a H2O temp gauge to the dash for my boat 99
Crestliner Fishhawk 1750 SC with a 2000 90HP Merc.

Also anyone have any suggestions as to where to look to find why the tilt
trim gauge doesn't work.

Tilt and trim needs a sensor that may not be there.
Is your motor 2 stroke or 4 stroke?
2 strokes usually just put a sensor on the head,
4 strokes have a place for the sensor in the water jacket up near the
thermostat housing. Teleflex has details on their site.
I have also become a believer in water pressure guages. They warn you
something is going south before you start overheating.
