Replacement gauges

[TheRookie]

Hi all,

I am in the process of buying a boat and would like to replace the gauges. Any idea where I can get some in the UK? Most my searches end up in the states!
Is it a fairly straight forward process as I already have the senders and stuff for my existing?

Thanks
Adam

What sort of boat is it? Pics?

Sorry it's a Fletcher GTS 19. With mercruiser leg.
I already have the stuff to replace the panel and all gauges work I just don't particularly like them. Are they quicksilver gauges?

They carry a good range.....
Beware there are 2 different standards for gauge - sender combinations. Get the right ones and it is no problem....

This is my new panel waiting to be fitted, its aluminium sprayed in metalic grey, guages are Faria, I had to fit new US resistence senders but they are very sensibly priced, by fitting a quad gauge it has freed up space for other instruments.

That looks excellent! I had seen the Faria ones and i do like the quad gauge as you say frees up a lot of space. The senders easy to fit?
Can i ask where you purchased?

Senders easy to fit, although you may not need to change yours as I believe Mercruiser use US resistance, mine is Volvo so had Euro resistance senders, I got mine from Brian Ward marine www.brianwards.co.uk/ they were special order as not all variants are stocked.
I do have a brand new rev counter for sale if you interested which I bought before I decided to change to diesel.

Try Furneaux Riddall for gauges, I bought several of mine from them and there is plenty of choice at a good price.

Thanks for that, a.s.a.p supplies seem to be the best so far, i believe i have us resistance but is there a way to check? Someone said about measuring ohms but boat is on a trailer with no access to water to get different pressure readings etc.
