Here is a thread that I started awhile back.

NoLandEngineering has an updated module that makes the install a lot simpler.
I also tied in my ST50 instuments into the NMEA2000 so that info would also show up on the Chart Plotter.

Nick.. Where did you purchase the fittings and what size did you use? The ID of my hose is 5/8". Thanks... Jon
ACE hardware
All I did was match up the size of my heater hose and think the hose was 5/8
and just went to ACE in the plumbing dept and used the proper size fitting's.
And the photo is not really my setup but off another 356 with a 3GM30 but my 3YM30 is pretty much the same setup.
And got the gauge and sender VDO from I think defender.

Thanks Nick! I was at Wal-Mart, Home Depot and West Marine, even tried to find 5/8th online, but not luck with the 5/8". I'm off to Ace today.. Thanks!
Got all the parts...maybe... Did the Tee come with a ground screw? If not how did you install it. Thanks.. Jon
Ace
The Ace on 41 in PC should have it and that store is Hughhhhhhhh
but I am near the ACE on Kings Highway behind Burger King but bring a sample of hose if you can not sure what size I have and did have to drill for the ground
and use a self tap small screw with plumbers putty sealer just in case.
Like I said the photo is from a 356 3GM30 and my 3YM30 is a little different but
the brass fittings should be easy to do.
The photo is my 3YM30 but did also drill for ground.

Thanks Nick! Yours looks super! The Ace on 41 was actually out but found it all at Isles Hardware. I prefer to support the locals if I can! Next step is the self tap screw. Thanks again!
Tee
Start with small hole and than small screw maybe stainless prevent rust
and let the screw make its own threads and use small tube of sealer no dripping
I love my ACE here in PC and use the ACE in PG too I get rewards back but the ACE on 41 in PC is so big and carry everything and my boat is in PG but live in PC.

Here's what I ended up doing... At first I cut the hose for the temperature gauge and installed it... However, when I started the engine I didn't like the amount of vibration present. I after looking at Nick's picture I installed the temperature gauge as in the attached picture... Solid, no vibrations to cause problems down the road. Ran it out in the harbor the other day for about 30 minutes or so and the temp never went over 160. I feel much better having the gauge now.

Had anyone used the engine watchdog? It is a temp sensor that just attaches to the engine block anywhere you can find a bolt or nut to screw it down with.
