My water pressure gauge stopped working, but I am getting good pressure. Is there a connection or something that may have come undone that I can check easily? had the lower unit serviced and new water pump impeller put on a few months back. I have an 05 merc 200 efi on an 05 Classic.thanksJon

How can you be sure you have good pressure? I would check if you have water getting to the gauge. you should be able to attach a pice of tubing to the back of yhe gauge and blow into enough to see if the gauge reacts.Bob

Got a new 2012 Eyra. First 2 times out my WP gauge worked great. Last week out I was runnin 4000 rpm and gauge read 0 PSI. Scared me half to death. Shut her down for a moment of thought. Started it back up, good pee stream. Got RPMs back up to 3000-still read 0 PSI. Pecked on the face of the gauge and it jumped up to around 15 PSI. Got with my Cat dealer, he ordered a new gauge. Called me back yesterday-new gauge in house, bring her in for swap out-30 mins. If you got a good pee stream, peck on that rascal. But again-thats the most important gauge on my dash!
