Electric fuel pressure
I just lost a motor when it leaned out due to a fuel blockage. I am looking to install fuel pressure gauges at the helm so I can monitor the pressure when driving. I don't want a repeat preformance. I want to use electric gauges rather than mechanical for obvious reasons. I can't seem to find any that are reasonable. The only setup I found was over $500 for two gauges. Any suggestions? This is for my cruiser not my Concept.

PS is right. I have fuel pressure gauges and rarely look at them over 60 mph. Normal cruise of 50 @ 3000 rpm, no problem. Anything over 60 where I boat , you have to be real sharp to avoid debris .
BTW , mine a Faria electrics and they were well below $500 , and are guaranteed as long as you own the boat

Thanks guys. This is only for my cruiser not my performance boat. It tops out at a blinding 25 mph. Plenty of time to look at gauges. I also want a gauge rather than a shut off or buzzer as I am still not sure that I have fixed the problem and want to use the pressure gauge to diagnose the problem, or lack of it. I have found a pair electric Gaffrig gauges and senders for around $170. I just want to monitor the new motor to make sure that the pressure is ok and hopefully not melt down more pistons.
