I have an older Ranger with gauges that aren’t working. I am in the process of removing the ones that aren’t relevant.
My question is about the water pressure gauge. Is it necessary? If the telltale is spouting isn’t that enough? Am I missing something?

lots a folks don't use one but it can be very beneficial other than jus tha "yeah, its workin".. it can give ya pretty good indication of where ta look for any coolin' problems when/if they show up.. it jus takes a little learnin' on your part of what ya seein'........... jmo.

The only gauge on a boat that is relevant is the water pressure gauge

Yes it is. You're not looking back at the tell-tale when running down the lake.

Water pressure and tach are the only two must have gauges.

Beat me to it. I added a water pressure gauge on my 1986 Ranger. Trim gauge is at the bottom of the list.
