Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge
 
I'm not trusting my electrical oil pressure gauge at the dash these days. It bounces around and jumps up when I tap it while running.
I'd like to plumb in a mechanical pressure gauge to compare readings.
Where is the easiest place to hook one up?
How about at the remote oil filter?
Is there a kit someone sells?
Stock 415HP/502MPI.

Thank you,

I tapped off the remote oil filter and made a panel to hang back by the transom with mechanical gauges. Easy to see by cracking the hatch from the driver seat.

Why not run a hose to the helm and have actual oil pressure in front of you?

you just get a little brass tee and tee it in where the electrical sender is... then you are comparing apples to apples.
