temp

The M18 in my 30+ runs at less than 160 on the temp gauge. I have installed a new thermostat and new temp sender that I purchased from Featherman before he closed his business, but it still runs the same temp. Any ideas why it does this? I thought the operating temp was supposed to be 180. Does...

Hi, all. I just installed a 90 amp Leece Neville alternator on my M25XP diesel. I attached it to a Balmar ARS 5 smart regulator. Since the alternator runs hot I wanted to put the optional temperature sensor on the case of the alternator. The problem is that the sensor attaches to one of the...

The temp sender on my Universal M18 may be dead. I tested the function of the temperature gauge and it appears to be OK. I used a multimeter to test the sender itself and the resistance readings do change as the temperature goes up, but no reading on the gauge. Torresen Marine sells a...

Good afternoon, Any good suggestion where to put the switch for the temp alarm for the M25? There is only one available port on the thermostat block, and I don't feel like drill/tap another hole in the block, as was suggested by a neighbor... thanks, Jolanda Lena, 1986 Ericson 34...

Out sailing and motoring today (because the wind just went away) and everything was working fine. Got back to the dock and was ready to shut down the engine when I noticed that both the tach and water temp gages were dead even though they were working just before we docked. Everything else was...

OK, my engine temperature gage hasn't really worked in awhile, so in a maintenance frenzy I decided to fix it. I took the wire off the sending unit and grounded it and the gage went to below 0 degrees. I took this to mean that the gage itself worked. I replaced the sending unit, but to no...

Hi: I have a 1988 E 38-200. The engine runs at a steady 160 degrees (though I do have some steam). I noticed after a 1.5 hour run yesterday at 2100 rpm that the area in the aft cabin that nearly abuts the exhaust elbow was hot to touch. Is this normal? Is is possible to have a normal...

A friend of mine has an E-33 (1984) and the temp gauge has ceased to function. How does one verify that the temp sensing unit is sending a signal to the gauge, and can that signal be tested with a multi-meter? By the way, which Kubota block is the 1984 M-25? The D-950?

My temp gauge doesn't read until I turn off the key. Here's what I've tried so far: 1) new gauge; 2) new sending unit; 3) new thermostat conversion kit from Moyer Marine; 4) tried bypassing wire from sending unit to gauge - same result. The gauge reads below the extreme cold until I turn...

Hey, My wife and I finally got our boat out of the slip yesterday, and I noticed the engine was running at about 200 degrees F, and it crept up to about 210. Is this normal? Does anyone know the normal operational temperature range for an E-29 Freshwater Cooled Atomic 4? We looked in the...

:confused: I noticed the temperature gauge in our Universal M25 was reading kind of high at about 195 deg F but the engine did not feel that hot. My optical temp guage and a thermocouple confirmed the actual thermostat housing was 171 deg F. Not liking things that make me worry I decided to fix...
