On your Swan or your 'other boat'?

I've got 17 years of motoring almost daily and
putting the sails up once or twice a year.

Dipstick.
Go back and read Gaynez's post.
You could even try *QUOTING* some of the previous post so that you wouldn't look like
an ass.

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.

And you could stop making yourself look like a retard by answering posts
on the bottom like you're supposed to. Stupid top-posting twit!

A seized engine would be the very least of the Good Captain's concerns.
After all, he probably starts the engine maybe two or three times a year
just to make sure it still runs. The rest of the time he uses his sails.
He sails off and onto his mooring and he sails everywhere he goes. He
claims he can even sail "Cuts the Mustard" backwards. That's one thing I
admire about the Captain. From reading his website from front to back
I've learned many things. Among them is the fact that Capt. Neal knows
what a sailboat is for and it's for sailing and not for motoring like
everybody here does more than they use their sails.

Ass clowns like Jonathan Ganz have a motor mentality. First they install
a bunch of gadgets about which they are totally ignorant as the proper
installation and care. Then they spend most of their time whining and
complaining that this doesn't work and that doesn't work and until they
can get it figured out they just can't go sailing. It's really very
transparent. They aren't sailors but they like to pretend they are. So
they talk the talk but when it comes to walking the walk they just can't
because they don't really know how. Instead of learning how to sail
their boat all they manage to do is learn how to install a bunch of
unnecessary crap that allows them to constantly tinker. They think
tinkering, fixing, troubleshooting mechanical crap makes them a sailor.
What a hoot!

If you have a turbo I think it makes sense.

I agree.

I'd just stick with the water temp gauge. Drilling and tapping cast
iron can be difficult, might lead to cracking.

Agree with what?
