AFR/Wide band Gauge. Analog or Digital preference?
I'll be installing a wideband in my boat soon. I know the digital AFR gauge I installed in my 69 Camaro doesn't like having the battery unplugged. You have to re-calibrate the gauge. If you don't it eventually corrects itself, but it's kind of finicky. Are the analog gauges better for that? Obviously the batteries will be shut off routinely and I'd rather not have to recalibrate each time.
I was thinking about picking up the AutoMeter 200870-33. It matches my current gauges.

I have an Innovative WB02 in my Camaro that sits in shop with dead batt for the last couple of years. Still works fine when I jump start car so it can be moved.

I'm running the Autometer you are thinking about. It's my second season on it. I've replaced the sensor once. It has a warm up mode that it goes into where the needle cycles at the low end of the gauge until it's hot and ready to begin reading. More often than not I can't get it out of the warm up cycle. I'm still trying to sort this out. Fortunately I got it to read when I was doing my tuning of the new engine so we could get the right fuel curve programmed in.

I've been running the Digital AEM kit for a few years now. No calibration required. It needs to heat up for about 10 secs. You can see the readout at any sun setting or angle. Also, polarized sunglasses dont mess with it.
