Default No water psi?

Drove a 2006 velocity 390 yesterday. Stagered merc 525 efi with xr drives and 6 blade herring props. Boat was flawless except for no water pressure registering on either gauge. No temp issues whatsoever, is this a impeller issue or someone has suggested it is a small clogged hose?

Agree, but more importantly- How did the boat run?

Boat ran great, hit 88 and stil had more to go. Kenny from velocity is a pleasure to deal with and went the extra mile for me .

Clogged on both motors?

possible I guess,,,,, boat have sea strainers???

the 525 pulls water pressure off the cooler on the back of the motor for the guage if it has it,,,,look for a hose there,,,,should be in a fitting with a temp send unit on it also.
