Hey Dave, I need a clock

03-01-2002, 11:36 PM

E-mailed the factory twice and did not get a reply. Last summer while running around in the ocean the clock in the dash shattered, yeah you could say it was rough! Anyway, I could fix everything else on the boat except the clock. My hull # is listed below, could you check your records and get me another clock. Just give me the cost and I will order it.

Thanks
John

my Gaffrig clock hasn't worked correctly since day 1 when I bought the boat, with only 22 hour on it. Crazy design - have to pull the pin outwards for the clock to run - it should be the other way around - when pin is pushed in, the clock should be in run mode, and pulling out should let you adjust the time.

what the heck are you guys doing with clocks on your boat - who cares what time it is when you're on the water...

The last thing I wanna know is the time when I'm out on the boat.

Yank that thing out and fill in the hole with a boost guage for the new Whipple Supercharger that you install.

I agree with JB, yank the clock out, put in a boost gauge, and set the time on your radio !

Actually, I find the clock pretty useful, since I don't wear a watch on the boat... And there's always some time when I have to meet somebody somewhere..... Since the radio is set-up with the rocker switch on the dash, as soon as the radio is turned off (via dash rocker) the radio loses all presets and the time as well.... That's the way it was wired from the factory. I assume there is one samll power wire on the radio that could be run to a constant hot voltage, in order to keep my presets and time - I'll have to look at that this Spring.

I`m sure there is a remote wire, there ususally is two power wires, one for swithed power and one so the radio can keep all it`s inforamtion. do you have the sony like on mine, or is it something different?

Was that the day you guys (RPBA) came down to Va. Beach to meet up with us (HRPA) and the southern ChesBay was in a grumpy mood?

I'd fill the slot with a digital GPS and invest in a good Timex Ironman...

That was the day reckless. First of all the clock is not broken, as in failing to operate, it is broken in pieces and sliding around inside of my dash. Got a GPS, don't need a boost guage, just want another clock. But I do appreciate all the help and ideas. Maybe someone can help. My gages are not bezeled but flush mounted and that is why I am having a problem finding a clock. Need one with a white face.

Thanks
John

vaboater,

Let me know what email address you sent to the factory, all emails are run through me and can't imagine I missed yours inquiring on a parts order - shame on me if I did & I apoligize. Give Joe a call here at the plant at 810-794-4888, he just may have the clock your looking for.

Hi Dave,

I sent the 2 e-mail requests through your factory website. But it is no big deal, I'll give Joe a call next week and get the thing on order. The temp. will be 70 this weekend in Virginia so I have to get going and get the boat ready for an early spring run.

Thanks,
John
