Lake Conroe Area Accessories
Looking for a shop around Lake Conroe for boating accessories. Guages, bezels, controls, rocker switches, steering wheels etc...
Victory Marine in Dickinson is the closest dealer for Lavorsi that I could find online. However, I don't have to have Livorsi. I currently have Gaffrig and will be happy finding replacements if there is a shop close by that carry their product.
I'd like to walk in and look/compare the product before making the purchase. Just trying to keep from ordering everything online and hope its the right color and size when it arrives.

I purchased mine from http://www.gaffrigperformance.com/
My old guages are from 1994.
The new ones are deeper than the old ones, which means you better have enough clearance to get your panel back on.
I got lucky.
Also, the way the light hooks up is a little different as well.
Not a big deal, I figured it out.

That's kinda sad. You'd think with all the boats and mechanic shops around that someone would sell some bling to pimp out our old tubs with. Anyway, thanks for the info. Cheers!

joew,
So you ordered the parts through Steve with Innotech and had Inland install everything?
I may have to do the same thing. My only issue is I wanted to have all my pannels hydro dipped before installing the guages. Not sure how long it takes to have something hydro dipped.
I'll go and talk to Inland and see what we can do.
Thanks for the info.

Not sure on the hydro dip, because I do not know what the hell that is I can say I purchased all gauges/throttles from Steve and had Inland do the install. I asked Mike at Inland to fix anything which looked questionable so he went ahead and did new wire harnesses and cables for throttles/tabs. They needed to be replaced from 1991. Mike spent the time to do it right and I am very happy. The tachometers are always equal with the throttles, The indicators are lined up correctly, and the wiring looks super clean. The install is one of those jobs I could have done but there is no way I'd have everything perfect like Inland did for me.

Just did a quick YouTube search, this found this video on a company that trains how to. I also remember an Orange County Choppers episode when they did this to one of their frames.
Kind of amazing how they can do this.
