Okay after looking at tons of threads, and researched all over the net. Can someone please tell me if I can install a water temp sensor on 2001 yamaha V150TLRZ. I've seen people saying mount on top head, mount here mount there.... water pressure is mounted on top the starboard side of the head. There is a bolt on top the port side head , is that where I would install one? Yamaha doesn't have the option part for this or I just over looked it. Can I use a aftermarket one? Any pix of where the sensor should go would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks , so just to be clear, I can order the sender , screw in in on the top of my motor and hook to any temp gauge? Are do I have to get the Yamaha gauge? Asking cause I have a gauge I bought to match my other gaugesComment

I would think it depends on what the gauge you have needs to work properly.
we have no idea what you haveComment
-
Sender and gauge have to be compatible with each other, ohm wise, usually purchased togetherComment

Black sterling, it only came with the gauge. sorry I guess I should've mentioned that.

The thread size for the hole/plug in the head is M14 x 1.5
Yamaha sells a temperature sender for their analog gauges that is a direct fit - but as pointed out above -
that sender may - or may not - work correctly with your Teleflex gauge.
Teleflex lists senders for your gauge in several NPT threads:
what you certainly could do, is use the 1/8" NPT Teleflex sender, and obtain an adapter bushing to take it up to the M14 thread.
Yamaha sells such a bushing (intended for their analog pressure gauge)

seems you need to look for what works with your gauge you purchased

If that old 14mm bolt doesn't want to come out of your head, you could drill and tap it , in place, for that 1/8"NPT sender that's compatible with your gaugeComment
