There are water FLOW alarms available. I would think that more useful than coolant pressure.
Under power I am usually on autopilot and the gauges are not in my line of sight, so I like the alarms.

I dont use any alarms. Maybe I should. I have had all sorts of gauges on my cars, but never had a failure. As a mechanic, there are so few times when an alarm could have helped an engine failure.
I have a water temp gauge, and an oil pressure gauge mounted in plain sight, on the aft cabin. I dont get the point of the panels mounted down low. You cant see the gauges.
Maybe I will hook up an oil pressure alarm after I rebuild the engine. It is sure to fail then.
