As of right now I can fix one that doesn't work, I do not have the swivel end that screws in to the drive to make any new ones.

Yes I have the actual sensor to repair yours and I have some other parts. If you take out your sensor by cutting the wire harness inside of the hull a foot or so from the thru hull fitting and send everything from the thru hull to the drive to me I will repair it and put on a weather pac connector and send you the other half to install on the harness left in the boat. Cost $60.00

Could you provide a picture of the sensor that you have?

If any of you guys get these gauges working I'd really like to see some readings with and without a drive shower. I just question the need for a shower. If you look at the back of a boat running at speed there is water all over the place back there. That upper drive is NOT high and dry. At least not with a shorty and wet exhaust..........

I have the same sensor as fireboat has pictured on the previous page.

We took out the BT this last weekend and at cruising speed my drive temps were 140-150 and at over 5000 rpm they were at 200-210.
I have Bmax drives with XR bottoms so no drive shower do to the water jacketed housing.

I played with moving the center drive at different heights and you could see the temps change as the drive had more or less load put on it.

I must say it was nice to have them working again, I hate when a gauge doesn't work.

Update
Had the boat out this weekend and noticed that the temp was up on 2 of the drives about 30 degs when I was over 65 mph so I keep the speed down and when I got it home found the water hole that feeds the Bmax upper on those to drives were plugged with wood. So I'm pretty sure the senders saved my drives.

Actually I was interested in a picture of the just the bare sensors that you have obtained that can be used to repair the sensor and housing assembly that is shown on the previous page

Can you provide a picture of this "actual sensor" that you have? Would you be willing to sell one? Price?
