Part number 175410 from Johnson or Evinrude is the complete water
temperature gauge kit for an outboard motor.

Thanks! Is that the one that will work with my 1986 J70TLCD
outboards? And do you know any sources for that? My local mechanic
told me they didn't make sending units or guages for my outboards
anymore.

I don't have one of those handy, but I think it's just the sender and the
gauge and you would have to use your original sender bracket. Late model
motors have a tapped hole for the senders. Your "mechanic" may be mistaken
about gauges being unavailable since Teleflex makes a whole series of gauges
that include an outboard water temp version. Go to teleflex.com The Teleflex
part numbers for a common style a

OB water temp gauge 72622
sender 52320-010
Z bracket IA55009

Any marine store or supplier can order these for you.
