525efi water pressure port
not sure why but my boat does not have water pressure gauges and I want to add them. Can someone explain or even better send a pic of where I connect the fittings/ hose to a 525 efi. 2003 motor. Thanks for your help.

Remove one of your block drains and install a Tee. Put plug on one side and a compression fitting (1/8 NPT to 1/16 compression) on the outer to use air brake line up to the gauge. Some have installed it in the thermostat housing and I still need to remember to move mine from the block up there for pressure comparison for tractionless

Nothing wrong with an water flow meter for an install. Some Marine oems are installing them instead of water pressure system / monitoring or both. Water pressure and or any pressure reading is a form a resistance. Sometimes it can fool one when monitoring.
Example a low water pressure reading can become a high water pressure reading when a line or orfice after the pressure reading becomes restricted.
Actually I like to have both readings -- water flow and water pressure
