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.

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

On my 39LF above the companion way is a area where I mounted the wind, speed, depth, and theboil press, temp, and fuel guages. I can't see the numbers but I can see the needle which is all I need. When they are not in the usual place I know something is wrong.

Stus-List Re: Temperature gauge on Yanmar
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 of the heat exchanger unfortunately.

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 when I lose cooling water.

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.
