No. Maretron’s EGT sensor is meant to measure the temperature of the exhaust
gas temperature, not the temperature of the exhaust gas after it has been
cooled by water. Placing the EGT probe downstream of the riser or elbow will
render the device inoperative very quickly. When sulfuric dioxide in the
exhaust gas combines with water vapor at the riser or elbow, it forms sulfuric
acid. The sulfuric acid is extremely corrosive and it will destroy the EGT
probe.
The photo below shows the effects of a exposing an EGT probe to cooled exhaust
gas for a prolonged time.
