I wanted to watch the drive temp and stuck a thermocouple to the top drive cap surface once and klunged up a temperature meter. I think I have seen a drive lube temp monitors around though. You could use a transmission temp gauge and adapt the sensor.

Something like this would work:

I am interested in drive temperature as well. Recently I had an oil leak in the reserve like that attaches to the outdrive and when repairing I noticed that there where 2 wires not connected to anything coming from the drive laying in my extention box. I was thinking that these might be from drive temperature sensors? Can anyone tell me where the sensors would normally be mounted?

Livorsi had them, but I think Elite Marine posted that the thermocouplers are no longer available.

Yes unfortunatley the compnay that made them is no longer in business. we are working on something though and I hope to have some tested in a few weeks.

Never had too many calls for them in the past, but seems like alot of people are interested now.
