im getting ready to place my order  and was thinking if i should buy new gauges?  I wanna make sure everything works perfect and not blow a motor cause the temp gauge didn't work right.

What are your thought's on new gauges? run what i have or buy new? what would you do , maybe im taking this a little to far but i dont want to be down another summer cause i broke the boat again

did your gauges work prior to taking your boat down? If they did, I'd say test all the sending units, test the gauges, if they still work then save yourself the money.

Im all for the saving $$  so yes they worked before i broke it and im buying all new sending units

2sav,

When you get the oil pressure sender, or any other for that matter, make sure you get the adapter bushing as well.  I got a new oil sender and the bushing was missing.  I wrote and asked about it and they told me it was too long ago and they were sorry.

Where did you pick it up at ?   

Im still trying to figure out the best place to get everything at.  Too many to choose from.

Im looking for a new rack & pinion , shaft extention , gauge bezel's , and a few a other item for now

I got the gauges from Rex and then ordered the anodized bezels from Jet Boat Performance, I should have bought it all from Tom.[/quote]

Check with Tom.  He can set you up and save you a few bucks too.  He has less overhead to pay for. 

Who are they???

Just some people trying to take business away from the BIG BOYS!!! 

New is the best way to go , some of the best money I've ever spent .

  I have some of that bling on the way I guess i cant get that wheel if everyone's gonna have it

I don't have it.     I wish the weather would warm up and dry out so I could get the work done I need to do so I could install my bling-blings.

I hear ya,  Before i install mine i got work to do  but it will get done.

Looks nice BJ but don't that steering whee; get hot in the sun?    Nice job!   Greg

Yes it did , But not any hotter than the black foam one did . I jumped in once after the boat had sat in the sun half the day , everyone was taking off for a run so I had no choice . It was in the 110 degree range so it was hot for a little bit . Got my hands wet and solved that problem . Otherwise it barely gets warm . When it sits under the canvas cover on a warm day , it is untouchable  I end up letting it sit in direct sun light to cool it down . Thats why I never cover it at the river .

I bought the gages at Rex marine and I also have angled bezels that didnt fit . The marine stuff was about the same price as the auto motive stuff . Not to mention the marine gages will hold up all winter long if your boat sits outside like mine does .

I think I'll clean up the dash and then rattle can it for the time being and get it looking like what I want the finished product to look like, complete with the new installed, so I know everything will fit...

A friend of mine put vynl behind his gauges, looks like a piece of brushed stainless as a dash insert but it's actually vynl. It looks very good. They make all kids of vynl, both in colors and styles (diamond plate, brushed, etc...)

I's like to see that too. 

I've seen them like in dash's
