New gauges are here
 

Ok I went with the autometer.

Plugs I will be using

Plugs again

Gauge rigged for install. I'm gonna put female end of plug on wiring in boat. Easy install and removal if needed

Nice!

Thanks bill. I appreciate everything. As always great doing business with you.

looks great... I like the easy disconnect

Ok. All gauges ready. Now to do the boat side.

Such a good idea!! Wish all gauges were that way, most are such a cluttered nightmare like mine :faint2:

Looks good, glad to see you went the Autometer route.

I am going to copy you...all of mine are over 30 years old and need to be updated. Help me with your shopping list.

Very nice! Autometer makes some nice gauges! I did all mine over last year, what a difference!!

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get tose plugs?

Thanks
Jim

All gauges from bill at diamond performance. Autometer platinum face with chrome bezels. 2 new water temp sending units. 2 new oil pressure sending units. Just under 500 shipped. I got 2 water temp, 2 oil pressure, 2 trim gauge, 2 voltmeter, and 1 fuel level. Plugs are from allelectronics.com. 2.25 a piece.

Did you get tachs also?

No. I have installed a floscan with tachs. Also a lowrance hds5 plotter fishfinder for speed.

I already have the passenger side panels out getting redone. This week I'm gonna pull drivers side to get redone. I'm remaking that one and the one where the controls are since I added Eddie marine elites.

Ok decided to start boat side. Everything removed. Gonna go tomorrow and purchase stuff to begin preparation.

Preliminary layout. Beginning to construct new panel.

Main panel fabbed up and layed out. Next is paint

Watching this one. I am with sprink, I like the look of your new gauges. Will have to consider this in the future. This years project list is already over flowing though! :eekdrop:

Brian

You're only running one tach? I would really want to know all the time what both engines are doing.

It's 2 tachs on that floscan. Fuel flow meter and both tachs. Simple flip of a switch brings up port and stbd plus it has a sync always up.

My gauge upgrade is doing more over here. Thanks to Rich(commandersander).

New gauge layout. Think it's gonna be badass.

Nice...good job!!

Wish I could take the credit for the work and idea on this one. Commandersander is actually working on it for me. Gauge layout was his idea. Love it. I'm sitting on a boat in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. Lol.

These look nice I like the layout!!!!
