2000 Sport 75th Anniversary

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

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!

my bad...sorry

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

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...

I remember something as Faria replacement kit...

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.

Tim,

I've mentioned many time already for years. You need to be an engineer for Correct Craft Inc. Give up your day job already! Our fellow family members on CCF have you on retainer for ALL Correct Craft needs. My checkbook is always open to you for repairs or upgrades.

[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.

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.

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.

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.

Ohhh good input Steve. Well, the boat will be here on Monday so...wait the old boat with the big 3 is in storage...shooot. Oh well, something to look forward to spring :)

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.
