Ask the manufacturer of the gauges you plan to use for the proper sender and it's Ohm range. We CERTAINLY can't answer since you didn't even tell us what gauges you plan on using!!!

Need more information about the gauges you plan to use. Most Teleflex gauges use the standard senders that are in the boat and engine. What "options" are you referring to?
One note.... If you do this, don't dispose of the gauges you remove from the boat if they work. No matter that the dials might be stained or faded. They are in demand by owners who want to "keep it original." |

The senders are resistance based. One 33-240 ohm sender shouldn't be any different than the next manufacturers 33-240 ohm sender. As long as the ohm values of the gauge match the ohm value of the sender you shouldn't have to change them. I reused all my factory senders when I replaced my gauges.

When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded.

Im talking about color style bezel look. The reason I am replacing them is because the plastic housings are cracking on the tops causing them to start to lean down and ready to break.
