Yeah, but my card behind it was a bit ratty looking and wanted to change color anyways to match the rest of the new dash I was installing. Bit the bullet and ordered one with polished rim an platinum face (matches new gauges I am installing) from Eddie Marine this morning. At least they sell the individual parts if ever needed haha.

They are truly unGodly to work with.
Last year we had to take the co-pilot helm off…half the boat had to come apart. Part of the headliner had to come out. Was ridiculous. |
Are Mercury any better/easier? I'm replacing cables this weekend.
I installed Bluewaters on my Panther and didn't think it was that bad. A bunch of little components that could be lost. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...3a59ed4181.jpg |

I’m guessing they are similar…
we finished our installation today…gotta be honest there is a lot of slop in this type of cable system. we put a straight edge on the hull and measured tab angles. The indicators on the dash aren’t very accurate. I used to think they were better. Until you scrutinize them…they are garbage. they are especially bad when you change directions. It takes force/displacement to overcome the friction between the pegs and indicator plate. The tabs move for a couple seconds before the indicators start to move. My guess is the vertical indicators like the old cigs had are more accurate. oh well… |

Mine move instantly. Your cables might be binding a little.
