2 tachs
1 speedo
2 oil temps
2 oil preasures
2 water temps

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.

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.

Re: Formula Dash Panels
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.

Re: Formula Dash Panels
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?
