[Shotimes] normal operating water temps

Would you trust the lights?

You mentioned earlier that your Autometer varies day to day. Bad thermostat?

Yeah, but even I get variations between 180 Autometer degrees on Monday
and 180 Autometer degrees on Thurs vs. the stock gauge on those
respective days. The stock gauge would be more useful if it had 3
lights; Hot, medium and Cold. That's about all its good for.
