Does anyone restore the older Airguides? I have a pair, surface mounted with the flange, chrome. Black dial, white numbers, and orange needle. Model 725, if I recall. Thanks...

I suppose you could put the GPS guts in and have the same old ugly looking speedometer you started with, (since the 725's use the original faceplate, needle etc. on a GPS conversion) if the cases are all pitted  Here's a link to a not too old thread with some info about where to get a faceplate decal if you can't find anybody and want to "refresh" it yourself. http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51003" rel="nofollow - link samudj01 has done at least a few of these himself, you might send him a PM |

Hey gang, I should have been more clear. Just looking for an aesthetic overhaul...chrome, face, and pointers, etc.... Don't need the guts, as they're not going back in a boat. Thanks

Took mine apart, cleaned the faces and repainted the needles. Replaced the rubber grommet for the tuning stick and was back in biz. Ace hardware for the grommet. I did not use the face sticker but it looked good. I also didn't rechrome. If anyone is interested in some airguides that are pitted and bad looking, I can make you a deal. ------------- 78 Ski Tique, 72 Skier w/302's, 93 SN w/351 & 17 GS22 w/zr409 Previous - 99 Sport Nautique w/GT40 and 87 Martinique w/351 |
