Title: Gages? Auto or marine?
Post by: oldmxdog61u on June 24, 2010, 04:04:05 PM

I see some folks posting they use auto gages, and others saying marine.
My boat is used on fresh water in arizona (hot, not particularly humid).

Any big difference beyond price?

You'll be fine with standard gauges, no need to spend the money on marine ones.

I have always used standard gauges, along with standard stereo equipment. Never a problem

X3, although I just put marine Auto Meter's in Pickle. Because of it's low freeboard and deck, they see quite a bit of water and were dropping like flies.... :screwy:

You shouldn't have any issues in yours with that!
