I expected this sensor to be a straightforward upgrade for my boat, and it mostly delivered. Reality is, it's built like a tank and handles the marine environment well, keeping my engine running smoothly without drama. I've used it for a while now, and it's reliable, though I wish it were a tad more robust in fluctuating conditions. Overall, a solid choice that meets my needs.
- Pros: The sensor fits perfectly with my engine, just as described, and the connection was smooth with no leaks. It gives accurate readings, which helps me monitor things closely and avoid any overheating issues. Built solidly, it seems quite durable for marine use, and delivery was quick.
- Cons: While it works well, I noticed it can be a bit sensitive to extreme temperature swings, which might affect readings slightly. In the same price range, some others offer a bit more consistency, but it's not a deal-breaker.

I bought this for my boat's engine, and wow, what a difference it makes! Installation was a breeze—just screwed it right in, and it started giving accurate temperature readings immediately. No more guessing if things are getting too hot. It's held up great in saltwater conditions, which is a huge plus for me. I'm incredibly happy with how it performs; it's like having a little guardian against engine drama. Definitely a smart buy for anyone into marine DIY.
- Pros: This sensor fits incredibly well with my engine, no issues at all during installation. The readings are spot-on, which helps me avoid any overheating problems. It's durable and handles the marine environment perfectly, making my DIY repairs much easier and reliable.
- Cons: One thing bugged me: it could be a bit pricier than some alternatives, but for the quality, it's worth it. I could be wrong, but I wish it came with a bit more detailed instructions for first-timers.
