I opened up the panel to find that the previous owner had tapped into the ground on the temp gauge in question to install a new fuel gauge. Never realized it before! I corrected the ground for the temp gauge to its original configuration.

Haven’t had a chance yet to run the engines up and test it, but do you think this could have interfered enough with the ground to cause the higher readings in that location?

Good idea – I’ll try switching the gauges next time out. Not sure if we’ll make it out again before the end of the season for long enough to replicate the issue though.

I’ve attached some pictures of the instruments:

Got it – ill try to see if I can get them a few inches higher and go from there. Thanks!
