Anybody know what is the best approach for new/refurbish gauges for 76 Ski Nautique? Hull is done, Engine is getting refreshed, now i need to think about what to do about all the gauges. If i get new, i'd like them to look right. i have 2 sets of speedo's, one white and on set black. It'd be cool to get the white [original style] back on there but they're looking a bit rough. suggestions? ------------- jimrogers74 |

There’s a long lost member who had overlay stickers for the white ones that actually worked really well. jmurph is his name. Dean with Classic boatworks had a great selection of Airguide stuff but I think he sold all his inventory. How’s your chrome? ‘76 was a crossover year for the other gauges. Super early models got a chrome bezel with silver and blue face, rest of 76 got an all black and blue lettered gauge? Teleflex makes a gauge today that sort of resembles (at least they do after a few chugs of rum) the early 76 style Teleflexes, think the line is called Sterling. ------------- Please support The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 1976 Ski Nautique 351 Escort 1993 Ski Nautique purple and black 351 HO PCM |

I've bought a few NOS Teleflex gauges on ebay. Might take you a while to find a full set, but they're out there. ------------- 1968 Mustang 16 - 351W powered |

They're easy to replace, so you can always throw the boat back together with what you have on hand and swap gauges out as you find replacements ------------- 1968 Mustang 16 - 351W powered |

Hi Jim, I have a 78 Southwind that I'm restoring this winter. Had the same issue with my instruments. Mine were the original Teleflex gauges, a few didn't work and the rest were tired. After I removed them all I realized they can't be disassembled and rebuilt (without breaking them). I purchased a set of Faria gauges from Wholesale Marine out of Cincinnati. They were same size, had black-ground, looked age-appropriate, and only about $250 for all of them. They arrived, and I'm happy with them, just now getting them in the new dash. ------------- Charlie |
