Wish I could do this. For twins i priced it out. About 700 for gauges, 300 for new dash panel or I could paint it. Probably 200-300 new steering wheel, re paint throttles for about 100. I just cant justify 1300 bucks into a dash right now. My stuff isnt as much worn looking as it just maybe is outdated. Wish I could find some descent gauges that were cheaper than livorsi and graffig

Okay...I got new senders to go with the new gauges and got a surprise when I went to install the senders. I expected to see the same color-code at the engine that is on the gauge end but found some differences. The oil pressure is obvious and I'm pretty sure the oil temp sender is the one on the remote oil-filter. I've got the mech. water pressure so it's obvious too. The problem is the water temp on the engine...I've got 2 senders on the front of my intake manifold. The front starboard sender has a light brown wire and there is one on the front port side with a brown/blue strip. Which one goes to the water temp gauge and what is the other's function? I don't have a wiring diagram so I need some help here...please and thanks. ts27

Brown/blue is high water temp switch, that activates the alarm. Brown is water temp sender for gauge. :drink:

Check out autometer marine gauges at cpperformance.com.

Also, if the budget is really tight, check out

thanks mine work and arent in horrible shape like I said almost spending a grand on gauges right now doesnt make sense. I am looking at all the cost of getting the boat ready, new stereo etc.

maybe for some crazy stuff but Ive got quotes from two guys on OSO than sell Livorsi and Graffig. for standard white faced gauges and bezels for twins I got a 670 dollar quote for everything minus the Speedos.
