Help installing a water pressure gauge.

I have a 1989 120hp Johnson Looper. Did Johnson make provisions for running a hose from the outboard to a water pressure gauge or would I have to drill and tap the motor?

You can look this up right on this site.-------1989 outboard accessories.-------Kit shows a tee for the hoses.--------No doubt that the factory kit would come with instructions.

Racerone, Thanks for the response, the kit shown in accessories has what I have now. My question is what would I hook the hose up to on the engine?

On the starboard side of the midsection, at the rear of the block there is an elbow coming out of the mid. The hose from this elbow runs up to the water control valve. This is the hose that you want to cut and install the 'T' fitting into.

Thanks Bill, very helpful and exactly what I needed, weather permitting I'll do that tomorrow. John
