Hi can somebody please explain to me if this connection where my finger is, is it for a water gauge or temp gauge on a 2000 Johnson 90 hp ocean pro outboard, I start the motor and water squirts out, if it’s for either does this motor need to have them connected or can u operate it without the gauge

There is no " need " to run any gauges.-----But a wise owner would install a water pressure gauge and a tachometer.

Hi is that 30 psi gauge big enough ( so the 30 psi does that mean will only read up to the 30 psi ) been told the 90 hp Johnson run up to around 40 psi? ) as I don’t know , I’m just learning about this type of motor more information about these motors the better even looking for the work shop manual for the 2000 Johnson 90 hp ocean pro not sure about the right one to get ?

Like I said previously in conversation I don’t know anything about this this motor , I replaced my old 70 hp, 3 cylinder which was a 1982 model , now I jumped to a 4 cylinder which I know nothing about at all , I was just going on what the book said on which motors it covered
