Default gage bezel question

I have a 1997 Baja Hammer, and would like to add gage bezels although I have heard they will not fit due to the gages being too close. I see they have "slim line" bezels and was wondering if anyone has attempted this with regular bezels or the slimline bezels and if it worked. I would hate to order them and they not fit. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Get the outside diameter of the bezel from the manufacturer and measure and see if you have room between the gauges. That is the best way to do it.

I have seen them on almost every boat and would assume you could add them.

Good luck they are a nice addition.

I went with slimline bezels due to my gauges being pretty close and they worked out great. Hope this pic helps for reference.

Slimlines are 2-1/2" OD for teh 2-1/16" Size and 3-15/16" OD for teh 3-3/8" Size.

Standard are 2-3/4" OD for teh 2-1/16" size and 4-1/4" OD for the 3-3/8" size.

Let me know if you want to order!!

Interesting thread. I thought about adding bezels to my boat but didn't think I had room. Some of the gauges are snugged up pretty close together. Then last week I saw an ad for a 29 OL with bezels on it that looked great. Will have to break out the tape measure next time I'm in the boat.

I had to buy a new dash panel from Livorsi so I could move the gauges to make room for the bezels. The bezels make a huge difference in the look.
