I find amp gauges more useful in everyday usage. ------------------------- 1978 57' Carlcraft w/twin 454 350hp Crusaders V-drives 1984 26' Sleekcraft, 502 BBC, 525hp Realtime Weather Aboard The Bama Breeze

You might give them a call and see. Seems odd that they aren't readily available. The only ones I've seen are are in complete main panel configurations. ------------------------- Gettin' Dumber Every Day

For some reason our boat has no volt or amp meters and Im always looking around at different ones and prices. ------------------------- 1990 16x78' stardust Eastern Ky

FranticallyRelaxing Admiral Posts: 370 Joined: 09/10/2006	Sure--- Here's a panel I made for a friend's boat, with switches and voltmeters (he installed) These are some acrylic replacement panels I made, for a Formula I believe, the black panels are the originals-- These are some panels I made for a Cigarette, the blue panels are the originals as installed. The 2 smaller panels I made are identical to the originals, the larger panel has 2 extra gauge holes, and the center section was machined to accomodate a new GPS unit... Below is the before/after pics of the dash I rebuilt for our Sun Runner. The larger panel I just refinished, the gauge and switch panels were all new... ------------------------- 1988 SkipperLiner 53x14 1995 Tracker Party Cruiser 32 for sale 2003 Chaparral 260 SSI 2000 Allegro Bus 40' DP Edited: 10/15/2009 at 05:16:52 PM by FranticallyRelaxing
