Since 2 of my boat buddies have lost trannys due to the coolers developing a leak and loosing all the fluid into the salt water(youll never know it, will cook clutches etc. before any symptoms while cruising) I decided to put in a pressure alarm to save the tranny--my boat is a 01 and in FL the cooler(or a busted hose also) will be in borrowed time soon/now.
Here s the 1/4npt plug on the ZFs and the sender installed. It takes a 7mm allen(need an pipe extension to get the plug out)
Port was &%#@ to get at on my 32 Open.
I got the alarms from SBMar.com, assure the elbow fitting is steel, Keep in mind the pressure in there is about 400PSI.
I wired it into the overheat/low oil alarm.
Most people put this in after they loose a tranny, I m trying to be proactive for once.
