Twin , inboard Mercruisers. Starboard engine temp. gauge goes not
register. Need diagnostic help. Wired in new gauge but does not work.
Is it heat sending unit, gauge, wiring, bad ground, how to determine.
I would appreciate someone's help. thanks, Bill


Since you have two identical systems, I'd try swapping wiring between
sides - first at the console, then at the engine, so the starboard
gauge is connected to the port engine sensor, and vice-versa - that
should quickly locate the problem.
