🔌 Function

Displays the temperature reported by its sender so the operator can see the engine's running condition at a glance.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Needle stuck at zero, pinned at full scale, or wandering with no relation to running conditions
• Reading that will not settle, or jumps as the engine vibrates
• Condensation, staining or a fogged lens behind the glass
• Bezel corroded or the case letting water in at the back
• Illumination failed while the gauge itself still reads

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the sender and its wiring before condemning the gauge - a gauge fault and a sender fault look identical from the helm
• Make sure the earth return at the gauge is clean, since a poor earth reads as an inaccurate gauge
• Protect the back of the instrument from spray and condensation when the panel goes back together
