Most likely, the temp sensor unit on the engine has stopped working. The
temp sensor is usually a small sender that screws into either the block or
some fitting inline in the cooling water system. It typically has a single
wire connected to it.
You can test the gauge itself quite simply though. Offhand, I don't recall
precisely which terminal to short out on the back of the gauge, but the guys
at Seaward should be able to tell you over the phone.

The temperature gauge on my 320 (#74) doesn't seem to be working. (it
recently stopped). I haven't found any loose wires. What else should I be
checking?
I am about to change the big hose on the freshwater radiator on my Perkins
engine. I know I need to drain the system to do this. When I refill the
radiator, is it necessary to clear any air locks?
