2000 SN NOS Teleflex gauges going in

You know how you can tell you're getting old? When you think you got a package a couple years ago and check the shipping label... then realize *you have had the package for 10 years*. Ugh, WTF. That's right, in 2007 I scored a pair of brand new NOS Teleflex digital gauges for my 2000 SN. Black Bezel and everything. I've kept them on a high shelf in the garage in case I ever sold the boat, thinking it would be a really nice bonus for the next owner.

Well, screw it. There isn't going to be a "next owner" anyway**. I'm putting in the gauges tomorrow and we'll enjoy them. The current ones have already been replaced twice in the boat, last in 2003. Now they read like the "Predator" arm display in the 1987 action thriller, pretty much cryptic nonsense.

I'll also be replacing my 2006-era PerfectPass multiline display since it fizzles out any time there is moisture in the air (no joke). New one will have the bright white LED backlight instead of the old green crap.

So, full console upgrade for the old girl. Pics to follow. Will the NOS gauges even work? STAY TUNED! This will be fun. If they do work I will post the only known photo of all these OE gauges working ever taken by a human being in the wild.




**even though this boat is a far, far distant 2nd to the 200 in every way, it's still the 2nd best boat ever made. And yes, this implies that your boat can only be 3rd at best.
