'88 boat gauges replacement

[Colsanders1955]

I have a couple of bad gauges in my '88 Chapparal boat that I just acquired. I have bought a whole matching set of Teleflex 7pc Lido Boat gauges to replace them. Would there be any issues with these gauges so far as size, specs, etc?

they should be ok, make sure the tachometer switch is in the correct position for your engine.

I would suggest re-wiring them with new wiring chains rather than trying to use the old. If the speedo came with new pitot tubing and pitot for the stern I would go ahead and replace that as well.

There are big issues sometimes when you change out gauges from the original ones, that is that the sending units might need to be changed out due to different ohms resistances in the senders, Gas, Oil, Temp, ETC
