Water Pressure gauge
I`ve fiited the jack plate and will be looking to get a water pressure gauge. Just a quick question though, what should this gauge go up to in terms of PSI (ie 15-20???)to fit on a 135?
Cheers

No. its fine at all speeds.
check to see if you have any play in your midsection or maybe air in your steering
you could try replacing the pipe first because it might have a blockage in it. cheaper than buying a new guage or better still connect a footpump upto the guage and see if it reads the same when you pump

if you have hydraulic steering then it wont make any difference.
not sure whats been done to my engine, had a quick look looks like some light portwork on rod slots and i've fitted a 1" intake spacer. Running on a A5 which is the later digital ecu with an offshore map in it

sure they give much better throttle response but not a great deal more power unless other things are done to the engine too
