Gaffrig even tried to make me a special guage to work with the VDO sender--coudn't make it happen so I pulled the sender and did it right.

Poorshe:
It took them two tries but they(Livorsi)finally got it right. He has the Livorsi sending unit with the VDO guage, works great and didn't have to sawsall the rear seat.:D.

My gauges are crap. Who has a panel that will work? Anyone, hello? Anyone? I think- wait, I know -my tachs are off at lower end of rpm range. Must . . . get . . . new . . . panel . . . soon.

Hey,
Not to rob the thread but.. where can one get the VDO temperature sending unit? The larger one that has the small rubber wheel on it? I bought one from basic marine and it does not work at all.

Did mine on my 272 three years ago now. Changed all the senders and added fuel pressure ,oil temp and water pressure. Also changed to white panels.

It would really suck big time to have to dissect the boat to get the fuel gauge senser out. :(

I tried every which way but loose to get that sucker out. It's at least a foot long and it hits the seat before you can angle it out. I took out the seat back cushions and used a 3 inch hole saw to cut an access hole thru the bottom structure. You can't see the hole unless you take out the seat back. Looks like it came from the factory that way.

Re: 311 Gauge Replacement

Got them made up new...copied from my old ones with the exception of the passenger side where I had the top panel made as one piece instead of two.
Unfortunately Mark from MearImage who did it has seemed to dropped off the face of the earth :eek: :eek:
I know he had some major health issues when I was dealing with him :(

Re: 311 Gauge Replacement

I couldn't help but to notice this thread. Mark at Mear Image started to handle my gauge line. He took a couple sets as "samples" then sold them. I never saw a penny from him.

If you are interested www.sscompetition.com I'm running a sale now.

If you are afraid cause the pricing looke "too low" Dare to compare with Livorsi or Nordskog. 30 day no questions money back guarantee and one year warranty.
