Tim, your not slipping. I just got around to measuring it on Sunday and I have not had a chance to get back to you on the email. I also did not have time to swap to the old 422 before I winterized. As Mike said gonna have to wait until next spring. Mike, I may haul my Sport down to Bellevue in the early spring to try your wheel before I purchase one - if you'd be up for that. Be some good pictures putting our two Sports together... That new (2U) one is a beauty! |

We may dig it out if the sellers want it before spring. Other wise we will store it till spring and give it to them then.
I listed it here, but the admins are out on vacay or something. Saw a note saying nothing will get updated for a couple weeks so yea...it's in limbo. The more we talk about it, the less we want to sell it. I will end up buying it from dad I'm sure. I have no problem with that. |

I must be slipping- I dont recall you mentioning that. If that is in fact the case, then there should be enough clearance to run the 13.25" prop on that hull. I think it would be a good match to the boat's power and size... hope one of you guys try it before too long. MDV, if your '90 is in storage then does that mean you wouldnt dig it out if it sells on ebay? Any reason you havent listed it here? |

Mike and Tim, back to the prop question. So I have the ACME 422 on my 98 Sport (same hull as Mike's folks) and per a separate conversation Tim and I are having, their is 1.5" clearance between the 12.5" ACME 422 and the hull. So, Tim I think you thought with that clearance you could get a 13.25" wheel on there and not have any issues.

Some guys are replacing the digital Teleflex gauges with analog Teleflex gauges. The analog Teleflex gauges use the pitots and you have run new lines from the back up to the gauges. I believe the Teleflex gauges cost a little more than the Faria gauges. You could always replace the Teleflex speedo with PerfectPass and replace the tach with the Faria. |

So, usually, if the gauges are displaying speed accurately, they are clearly visible during the day?

You can read the digital gauges fine. When they are working, they work just fine. The issue is with the lights in the gauges, not the gauges themselves. Numbers, or parts of numbers disappear. The gauges are working, but if they don't display the numbers they become worthless.
The Faria gauges work fine as a replacement. Some guys on planetnautique have been replacing them with another brand (I don't recall which brand) that seems to work fine as well. BKH |

The other obvious alternative is to throw a GPS speedo in there, and who knows...maybe these in the new sport work very well.
I just don't see how they're that practical for water skiing. Can you read the dial very well in sunlight? Or at all? I've never seen these in person and am very curious as to how awful they really are....... |

I don't know if it is a good idea or not. But, since Airguide quit producing the speedo's in about 2001, I would guess that's the main reason that people are not installing them. BKH |

So, can we throw a couple new airguides in there? Why hasn't anyone done that? Stupid to go back to the old technology or what?

[QUOTE=NAUTIQUEjunky] My replacement gauges were just like the original ones[QUOTE]
Not exactly. The originals had black rings. Give it some time, those will likely fail as well. I looks like you keep that boat very dry which is the best way to try to prolong the life of those digital gauges. BKH |

Faria guages are the replacement. Does the boat have perfect pass on it already? If the boat doesn't alreadys have a paddle wheel, one will need to be installed for the replacement guages to work.

I'm sure someone knows what they used as a replacement gauge. Maybe give woody a call.

Of course. The gauges were fixed once by the dealer (believe it was a dealer promo)
How will we go about getting nice gauges in this? Dad may not go for the less than desirable ever popular 2000 Nautique gauges... |

Im guessing the hour meter probably has something to do with the faulty digital gauges offered in 2000?

2000 Sport Nautique 75th Anniversary. Hour meter doesn't work, 1 owner used it 12 times. He estimates less than 50hrs of use.

Good point Tim....
I don't think it will, but I'll see what kind of clearance we have. What's our vector Victor? |

Has that been confirmed? The TSC (1997+) SN got a shallower shaft angle that decreased the prop clearance. It was at this time that CC went from 14" diameter props to 13", and now 12.5" Acmes. Im not certain the 13.25" 1442 would fit on a newer boat. Try it and let us know! |

Sorry for the thread for sale jack previously on the general discussion stuff.
Dad bought a 2000 Sport 75th anniversary. Will the props we have on the '90 all fit the new one? I'm almost positive they will. But just wanted to be sure...Not sure what tranny is in the 2000. It does have the GT40 though so one of you guys knows I'm sure. We have an ACME 654 and a 1442, and the stock 14X16 which will stay with the '90 where ever it goes...possibly to a storage shed so we don't have to part with it? :D |
