oil pressure gauge for 2006 F115

[herb.wilson@uno.edu]

Can I install a regular teleflex oil pressure gauge (0-80 psi) utilizing the existing oil pressure switch on the engine as the sending unit? I believe, I would just have to install another wire running from the oil pressure switch to the gauge. My Yamaha gauges are old and do not include the oil light for oil problems. I already have some Lowrance gauges with nmea 2000 functionality and they are picking up some info from the engine's nmea 2000 output but oil pressure is not being displayed.

No the oil pressure sender is a low oil pressure switch, it only signals when oil pressure is low and would not operate a gauge.
