      Typically, CHT is only used on an air-cooled engine (such as a Yamaha KT-100 or Briggs LO206).  If the engine is water-cooled, you want to monitor water temperature.

      As for tuning, a temp probe in the exhaust header measuring exhaust gas temps is preferred.

      Thanks, Eric.  I bought an H20 gauge and installed it today.

      Don’t agree.  CHT is very important to tuning and could let you know you’ve lost cooling before damage.
