I got all of the interior and most all of the hull hardware off the boat today and yesterday evening. Gauges
Come out tomorrow.anyone got any great tips for for marking the wires for replacement. I'm going to try pics and color coding. How do you riggers do it?
Had my painter come to my shop yesterday and check her out. He says it's a three week job depending on how crazy I go. He will put me in the front of the line as soon as I pull it to him.

What model year is the 300x's. You may be able to go to smartcraft and make it easy.

FP if you are using the standard Mercury 8 pin wire harness and are going to stick with analog gauges it is easy. No need to mark them. We can provide color code when you are ready to start rewiring the boat.

Regarding the color code. I'm not sure this boat was rigged per a code (1992). Some of the wiring looks pretty half assed really, some not so bad.
The boat was re rigged with all Livorsi guages in 2008.
This is a pic of the port tach. It's not too bad. As far as 8 pin, I assume you are talking about connecting the on board harness to the motors. The guages just have to be removed for paint.

I have no idea why my pics keep rotating like this. Anyone know why this is happening?

Your pictures will be enough, purple- 12vdc ignition, blk -ground, blue- lights, all the same on all gauges. Then the only wire left is the sender. Gray- tach, etc.
The new gauges from Livorsi are Poor Quality, the rims pull off, made in China.

Yes it did. It made it run flatter and more stable. It's an aerodynamic change to the boat and it works. If I didn't have so much time in a 28 I wouldn't believe it but it really makes it a better ride. Not to mention it keeps the wind out of your face .

If you go with the vessel view go ahead and pull it all out! It is better to start fresh than have a cluster of crap.....
You need to also check and see if the 300x motors on the 32 have a smartcraft gauge on the dash. You will need a special harness to make it work.
