Exactly . someone put a dual-station temp sensor on my engine at some
point. I don't know about the PO but it sure confused the heck out of me!

FYI – many a powerboat has 2 sets of gauges. You can buy dual gauge senders and
have 2 temperature gauges. I have seen boats with a second set below at the
chart table. Don’t mix them up though, one gauge will read way off if used on a
2 gauge sender.

Wet exhaust temp is also worth a monitor.

One could also install a flow sensor on the raw water intake and connect it
to the alarm system. This one is meant for the Atomic 4, but the concept is
the same: https://moyermarine.com/product/raw-water-flow-sensor-ktas_01_563/

I added a coolant temperature sensor and gauge in the coolant line that leads
to the water heater—it works great!

Sounds like a great idea—I look forward to list ideas. One key is to place
gauge where it can be seen easily—on the engine control panel is not ideal
considering the contortions one must endure to read anything in most engine
panels placed down low and with barely enough room to get your head
Funny - I’ve found I can tell by the exhaust note when the raw water cooling
flow is restricted. When it stops (belt slippage) the engine sounds like a
motorbike I once owned.
This method (or the more scientific exhaust water temp sensor) would not detect
an issue on the engine coolant side
Mike,I installed a tee for the overheat sensor. Then install a temperature
sender for a guage. I mounted the temp guage, and an oil press Guage in the
cockpit. I also added a sensor on the exhaust hose just after the mixing elbow.
This sets off an alarm. But no light. It goes off at 200* f. For
The existing temperature light is run by a simple dedicated temperature
switch. You would have to tee off the port and add a thermistor. Pipe
fittings are easy and the gates usually come with MIP threaded sensors.
Just add signal wire from the gage to the sensor.
