Except that a Loss Of Cooling Accident in a waterboxer is a "Stop
right now" emergency.  The older (through '85, I think?) controllers
will peg the gauge for you, but the newer ones won't.  My blinker
saved mine 3-4 months ago.

I'm happy to fix temp gauges for people, including putting in a
brighter LED -- even the much hated (by me) blue ones -- if they
want.  The first one is free except for parts; after that I'll know
how long it takes me to do it.  I'll also put some pictures up on the
website -- I started to, once, and I'll be able to finish the project
on the next one I fix.

Yours,
David
