gauge opinion
 

More or less gauges. Is it better to use the 4 in one gauges or individual gauges. Might be better to look at one gauge for more info than 4. Any opinions?

I need to add 3-4 gauges to my panel, rather than rework the whole panel I'm adding a 4-1 gauge for the less important items, fuel level, battery charging, water temp and oil pressure.

I will be leaving the large oil pressure gauge!

My new gauges consist of Oil Temp, Fuel Pressure and Boost Pressure.

I checked and though the gauge is smaller, it has the same calibration as the 2-1/8" gauges. Now I can monitor more in the same space.

The 4 in one guages are hard to read at speed. I like the individual guages.

I don't like the 4 in 1 either

I just redid my old Wellcraft cruiser, and I used 4 in 1, love them. Gave me enough dash real estate to put a chartplotter in, but I think I will stay with individual on my Cig.

I'm putting 4 in 1s on my cruiser this year. No problem reading them there. I still use a large individual water temp guage though. It's the most likely to be an early indicator of a fixable problem. I'm using the temp guage in the 4 in 1 for oil temp.
I had 4 in 1s on a cat because of limited dash space. They were hard to read, just too small.
Stick with big guages if you have the space.
Another thing. If 1 goes bad, you have to replace the whole 4 in 1 guage at 3X the cost.
