[C320-list] Temperature Gauge

[Jane & Ken]

Allan, when the folk on the coast toss out 'marine grade' they are telling you SALT AIR/WATER MARINE GRADE, which is much worse than fresh water environment.  If the boat is always inland in fresh water most automotive parts work fine---the autos on the coast will suffer more than inland autos--but good point. Ken OBUOY, #219

I replaced my temp gauge just yesterday after having the same problem and
finding that replacing the sending unit did not solve the problem.  It is
very easy.  It will take longer to take the pod apart and get to the gauge
than it will take to replace it!  New ones are available from Seaward,
562-699-7997.  Cost was about $45.  You need to give them your hull number
and they will take it from there.  As the guy told me, they make a good
product but they are not marine grade.  My boat is a 2001 vintage.
