my electric water temp gauge works great. &nbsp;the mechanical ones just seem far too prone to "self-adjustment". &nbsp;there's just a little round copper weighted band inside the gauge. &nbsp;that provides the resistance to boost which then moves the needle. &nbsp;complex, but simple i guess. &nbsp;anyway, it's very delicately positioned, and it just gets out of whack. &nbsp;sucky.

so i'm going to buy something else in the future.
