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: http://www.livorsi.com/catalog/pyrometers.htm

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

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

Nah. Just wait until the engine seizes, like Capt. Neal does.

Ah... So, the black smoke and pegged water temp gauge is a bad thing
then?


Sure, but the sudden stoppage of the engine is the dead giveaway.
