Hey all... Happy boating season to everyone!
I am in the process of getting my panels dipped in red CF and wanted to go ahead and upgrade the gauges while I am at it. Looks like most people are moving from the Gaffrig gauges I have currently to Livorsi (monster?) it seems. Can someone point me in the right direction on a correct full gauge set to drop in without having to replace any senders or rewire too much? Thinking of going with red CF wrap on the panels and then a white face/platinum bezel gauge. Your help is greatly appreciated! Attached is an image of my current gauges.
Thanks!

I am not sure that Livorsi is the way to go. I purchased some Livorsi a few years back and they fog up pretty bad. I have heard good things about Autometer these days.
Good luck.
And you want anything with older stud terminal wiring connectors. Stay away from the gauges that have plug in connections unless you want to wire up a lot of plugs.
I would post a picture but don't see a way to do it with the new web format. All I get is access to a URL link.

Thanks. I looked at Autometer quite a bit and they seemed to be an easier drop in/replace solution. It looks like you can get them a bit faster than waiting on 2+ weeks for Livorsi to fabricate and ship. Price difference is a bit less too. Maybe I'll go with Autometer...
