: All references to installing a water temp guage that I have seen relate to the manual type system that requires a fixed length of tubing between the sensor and the guage.Has anyone installed an electrical type guage system?It would seem that this would be easier to install.Is there a problem with 6 volts?
Thanks for the inputs.Just realized I have been spelling gauge wrong.Sorry about that.Regarding doubling the reading of a 12 volt gauge when using 6 volts, I'm not sure how linear the gauge would be.While it might be correct at a single point, such as boiling (212), would it track for lower temperatures below boiling?I guess the thing to do would be to calibrate the sensor over the temperature range and mnake a new face with correct markings if the 12 volt gauge does not track using X2 factor.Maybe it would be simpler to run a 12 volt system.
