Check out the dual tachs. Floscan had one that I almost bought. Pretty neat because its easy to see both at the same time.

2 tachs

1 fuel guage
1 volt meter
2 engine hour meters

That got me to 12 and you still have a extra hole there.

I would get the tachs with the hour meter in them and then you can take out some more guages.

These are already standard issue in the newer Formulas!

I would get the tachs with the hour meter in them and then you can take out some more guages. OR hide the engine hour guages and the volt and fuel guage and make it easier to read. I would also suggest that you put your guages together. IE. port and starboard oil preasure together. That way you can just scan the dash and look at them to see if they are pointing in the same direction, not actually have to read them. That is how all the race boats are set up.

I'm leaning toward B or D personally. You need to learn how to count Jon!!! I added your list and got 15. Here's teh deal.....

2 tachs/hr meters (BIG)
1 speedo (BIG)
2 oil temp
2 water temp
2 oil pressure
2 water pressure
1 fuel guage
2 volt meter
1 GPS


something else too.....can't remember what at the moment. :evilb: :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Several manufacturers have dual tachs--I put a Gaffrig/Livorsi sync guage between tachs.

As my son says--"at my age"--- I can't hear if engines are synched or not--so it has some value in that it make him think I really pay attention to what he complains about on MY boat.

I am fairly sure you only need the one volt guage as the Formula can look at both batteries independently or together. If you run the battery switch in the both mode you will be looking at both batteries anyhow. On B were is the GPS?

The GPS? In my pocket! (or over board) It's the one thing that slows down the boat!
