So, took out my 42 GB MY today for a post winter sea trials. Over the winter I replaced the raw water heat exchanger and was excited to see temperatures. I have a single lehman 120.
As soon as I left the dock the flying bridge temp gauge starting rising rapidly. I was kind of freaked out as it hit 220. turned around and docked the boat. Turns out the lower helm was reading just fine. Did an infrared on engine and confirmed Flying bridge was in error and about 40-50 degrees high. So I went back out and ran it hard for about an hour and no temperature issues.
I did quite a bit of work in the ER this winter with replacing batteries, heat exchangers, changing oil, etc. I am guessing maybe I damaged a wire or something. I have never had issues with the Flying Bridge Temperature gauge.
Can some identify in the picture below which ones are temp sensors? And what are my options? I guess I can redo the terminal ends as a start. Are there any plug and play wireless temperature devices I could use? I have no idea how I would re-run the wire up to the Flying Bridge.
I plan on a two day trip later in the week and would really like to get it fixed.
