Sounds like a great idea—I look forward to list ideas. One key is to place
gauge where it can be seen easily—on the engine control panel is not ideal
considering the contortions one must endure to read anything in most engine
panels placed down low and with barely enough room to get your head in front of
the gauges to read them!
Mostly thru ‘pilot error’, I destroyed my Yanmar 30 GMF? head when I lost all
cooling water somehow and no alarm sounded—the stock temp sensor apparently
needs water to work—no water, no alarm, no problem until the head gasket/head
itself cracks!!
I now have an overflow tank on my Beta 28 that I check before any motor use to
be sure there is water in the system.
YMMV,

Has anyone installed a dedicated temperature gauge on a yanmar engine similar
to 3GM30F? Can it be as simple as attaching to the sender unit that goes to
the idiot light on the control panel?
When a panel alarm goes off I usually shut down the engine immediately and
forget to check which lamp was lit. Would be nice to have a temp gauge for
reference. I do have an oil pressure gauge and would love to have both
Thanks
