[C320-list] temp gauge issue

[Jeffrey Hare]

The temp sensor is screwed into a Brass/bronze T-fitting right above the
alternator.  It has a screw holding a single wire on the end.

Chris H. ordered an extra one for me from seaward recently for around 15
bucks.  If the fresh water cooling has a leak around this sensor, it
corrodes pretty easily.  Replacing it is easy, unscrew the old sensor, and
screw in a new one. Reattach wire.
