You might have the wrong sending unit (thermocouple) installed. Make sure that
it matches the gauge. I installed a mechanical temp gauge on Pegasus, requires
no electric power except for the light.

Faria temperature gauge calibration
Anyone know if Faria temperature gauges have a calibration function on
them?
I just finished installing a Universal 25 HP (that came out of a Catalina
30). The previous owner complained of overheat issues.
Anyhow, running at the dock, in gear for load, the engine comes up to 180
F (using a non-contact thermometer) and shows 220 F on the gauge.
Immediately on shutdown it drops to 190ish, on restart it goes back
to 220. I can say the difference is due to alternator running voltage
14.7 vs. shutdown, 13V.
I cannot find any good information on the web regarding calibration or
the resistance values that can help, although such items are
mentioned.
cheers,
