Water pressure gauge will not go back down to 0 it stays at 20lbs when the motor is shut off. But when running it will go up to 25/30 lbs depending on how fast I'm going. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks
Bill
Yup, you got a bad gauge. Water pressure gauges are mechanical, and should return to zero when the boat is turned off.
Guess i'll just put a new one in. Not bad got 6 years out of this one.
You can also send it back for repair if it is a Faria (https://faria-instruments.com/forms/?form=new). Mine did the same thing and I had it repaired. Instead of capping it off while mine was out for repair I bought another one and put it in. Now that one has the same problem so I need to switch it with the repaired original now.
Good idea Chris. It is probaly the same as we have the same boat!!! How the fishing out your way?
I'm back in Brighton, but have only been out fishing 3 or 4 times this year. :'(
