Gauges..... You need them anyway.... keep looking on eBay for new....
I recommend these Tech Series Gauges:
1. System Check Tachometer - 176301
2. Voltmeter - 174687
3. Trim Gauge - 174679
4. Hour Meter - 174688


I am going to disagree with Joe, If you put a new E-Tec on the boat go with new Digital I-Command gauges. For the E-Tec you really only need a single 3 inch digital gauge that will give you all of the above. I went with 2 of the 3 inch digital gauges but it's way over kill, especially give how you can configure the digital ones to show you tach or trim or hours and for Tach and trim you can have it pop up a screen when you hit say over 3500 RPM. If your trying to fill holes in your console, then purchase away but on my console, I go to the lumber yard, purchase, cut and install a new teak panel and no more holes.

kamie,

I can't argue with you there. I just don't particularly like the idea of just having one gauge. If something happens, you don't have anything. The new gauges do look good but they aren't cheap either....

Now I have to decide on guages and I need to decide quick. What about the classic version of those I-Command guages? The tan one looks great to me.
