[C320-list] temp gauge issue

[Russell G. Monaco]

i went to boat and oddly enough the t-fitting was fine and the connection
was fine, BUT the Bus that connects that little wire to the wire that goes
to the helm had corroded and fallen out of the bus, i saw it, it was
obvious, i stripped it a bit, stuck it back in and voila! all better! 180
degrees as always....
