Picked up a new one and all is good now. Temp is still only about 190 but it’s cold water the boat normally does not see.

Got a pic of the part number Incase anyone needs it from advanced auto.

190*F is a good oil temp.

BTW; I walked across my cove today. Few guys out there sitting on buckets fishing. Your water is not cold. :)

That’s a cool fitting Rookie, was not aware it existed.

Get a 1/8" sender and bush it with a 1/4" to 1/8" NPT bushing so you don't block flow.
