    Does anyone know where I can install an analog temperature sensor on my Dauntless? PO has installed a offy with only 1 out port which has the idiot light sensor in it. The probe for the analog is about 2 inches long. Is there a port in a head I could hook in to?

    Drill and tap a water outlet /
    Brass T fittings on intake as a splitter

    Probably going to have to go with the T fitting method. After all, anywhere you probe will have a different number depending on flow. Some areas have no real flow. Mostly stagnant water. But it is relative and I can at least monitor for changes.

    Better than a splitter would be a splice in a coolant hose with a fitting, and you don’t need a ground since mechanical.
