Default too hot or not?

I put one on my truck's Cat, very easy installation.
There's no warning buzzer, correct? Are you really going
to maintain a steady watch on that gauge while motoring?

I'm considering adding a pyrometer to my boat.. the

current temp gage is for
water, and I've heard from several sources that if there's

a sudden
increase, it might not offer enough warning.

Something like this:

However, I'm concerned about putting a hole in my exhaust

manifold.

Anybody done this? Tips/tricks/things to watchout for?
