Installed an oil temp gauge and started thinking about installing a AFR to keep track on motor health. Most O2 sensors are installed and removed, then noticed the dual gauge on another's boat here. Thinking it's not necessary for the average 500 hp motor, but just asking for opinions.
Bungs are installed so hooking one up will be easy enough. Still working on things but plan to redesign the helm. Plan is to get rid of the speedometer and using the Chart plotter for speed and other things.

You can always run one temporarily and tune on cooler day and call it good also. Check it from time to time to confirm your content. To many gauges can get you in trouble also. Meaning safety reasons.

The motors were tuned once right after install. The bungs are in place currently, so the question is, would it be good idea to permanently install dual AFR's to monitor the motor?
Noticed the one on ICDEDPPL helm on his Cig

I also ran them full time on my 33 OL , with just a pair of 502`s .. I like monitoring all kinds of stuff.
You`ll find most of the units have harnesses that are too short. (for automotive applications) What I like about my current FAST unit is the option for longer harness and 2 readings in one unit.
