Baja Outlaw MPH Gauge Yellow
I am in the process of looking for to purchase a used 25 outlaw. It seems half of the outlaws I look at the MPH gauge is a rusty brown color. Why does that happen? It never seems to happen to the RPM gauge, only just the speedo. Is it difficult or even possible to drain the gauge and refill with clean clear water?
Thanks

It happens because there is a tube coming from your lower unit that picks up water which translates water pressure into MPH. When the clear fluid starts leaking(as all seem to do over time) the gauge starts filling with lake water. Pick up a GPS Livorsi one not only will it look better but its accurate. The gauge will match the old one perfectly except for the name on the gauge. If you do this make sure you plug that water line or you will have water behind your dash. I used a screw and a zip tie and it hasn't leaked so far. Check out my thread you can see the difference in the gauges. http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/b...25-outlaw.html
