Re: T&T: vacuum gauges

I had the T handles on a previous boat and didn't like crawling down  between
two screaming 6-71 TIB's to get a reading. An engine needs to be at  least at
cruising rpms to get an accurate reading. So it would depend on how  easy it
is to see your Racors while underway at cruise speed. The T handles work  as
accurately as the remote ones, however.

"Slow  Dance"  (OA 48 classico) is now back home in Gulfport, Ms.  We
completed the loop about a month or so ago and now are dealing with the  home
and
hurricane damage that occurred before we left.

In  the meantime I want to install vacuum gauges on the fuel lines.  My
question is which type to install.  Are the one that simply replace  the
handles on
the Racor OK? or do I need to go to more trouble to  install a remote  gauge ?

I want to thank the list for all the  great information I was given while
doing the loop cruise and look  forward to your answers.
