2000 150HP Ficht Water Pressure Gauge hook-up point

[miso]

Hi!
I need some help.
I have a 2000 Evinrude 150HP Ficht Ram outboard (E150FPLSSM, s/n: 4979889).
I bought a Water pressure gauge kit from Boats.net (Great service, fast shippment).
The problem is, that the instructions are not very good, in fact they are very general, regarding fitting point on the engine.
It says I should hook it on port side on the block (close to spark plug). My engine in fact has a threaded hole there, but it's not drilled through all the way, it's a blind connection (pic.1).



In my Operation and maintenance manual it says it should be hooked up at the top of starboard side, just behind the solenoid. But on my engine, there's no hole there, just a clear spot (pic.2).



In an Operator's guide I got online (I'm not sure for what year it is for, but it says 100 thri 250 HP, type FPL,...) there's a picture, where it looks like it should be hooked on rear of the engine, just above the lower engine cover. I in fact have a plug screwed in there, just the picture is not the same as in the guide. (pic.3)



Can someone confirm me, that the spot on pic.3 is the right place to hook it up? If not, where should I look?

Thanx for the help!

I would suggest using the one on last photo on exhaust housing.

Yes, that was my favorite too.
Anyway, I'll try this one and hope for the best. It's easier to plug it back, then to drill holes in my engine block.

Thank you!
