Default Gaffrig or Autometer/marine ?

I would like to replace my current gauges on my 25' Concept. Has anyone had good or bad luck with these two brands. Fogging, accuracy and durability ????

Also who makes the best trim indicators for Merc. 250 and Bennet tabs

I read somewhere that Autometer is who makes guages for Gaffrig.

I have a full set of the Gaffrig gauges that I bought new with the boat 2 years ago. So far, I have had to replace the voltmeter gauge because the needle would stick until I tapped it with a wrench. Also the gauge that measures the outside air and lake water temp only works now for the air temp. I sent it back but they said it was okay. There must be something wrong between the sensor and the gauge but I can't find it.

Your starting to see more and more high end boats rigged with Autometer instead of Gaffrig.

Do you have to replace all your senders if you use autometers? Who has the best pricing on autometer?

Why would this be IF Gaffrig is made by Autometer?
