Default New owner with 525SC questions

New Formula owner with Gen VI 525SC questions as follows:

1. I want to add water pressure gauges, is there a preferred location for a sender based on your experience?

2. Is there anything "marine special" about the 1050 Dominators (other than jetting)? I think these are as-shipped by the factory but I intend to baseline them to be sure.

3. I have Blower Shop 250s. Other than periodic oil changes, are those of you who own these returning them for the prescribed periodic service or maintaining them in a different way?

4. This boat does not have fuel pressure gauges. Are they needed in this configuration?

Thanks.

the carbs are special as they run 2 power valves and staggered jetting in most cases, blowers have their own small amount of oil

The stock jetting is # 98's in all holes with 6.5 PV's on both sides. They are marine carbs with j tubes and different shaft seals.

My water psi guage connection on my 525SC was in the block drain hole. It would get clogged pretty easily there.

Fuel psi is never a bad thing to have, but i did not have one on my 525SC. Change the lube in the blower and sea pump/fuel pump every 50 hrs or so.
