Title: opinions
Post by: 2savage4you on February 20, 2008, 05:42:03 AM: Ever used these guages ? I need a set for the Bahner, and i cant really afford an expensive set like the autometer is what i really want.

I even bought my gauges from the same eBay seller!!!! I think I paid like $97 for a set of 6 :o and I couldn't have been any happier with the set for the money spent. ;)

If not Tom has new sets of the Beede gauges in his parts catalog, cheaper than that set. And thay dont say Advantage on them. Remember you will have to add the price of oil press and fuel gauge to the Ebay set too. http://www.jetboatperformance.com/index.php?p=gauges

Good call, maybe I didn't look close enough at the set he was looking at, the set I bought had oil pres, water temp, volts, tach, fuel, trim/tilt, and I bought a seperate speedo that matched.
