Faria Gauges

[wannagofishin]

I found a set of Faria gauges (no water pressure gauge included) they say from a Bayliner (new - blems) has anyone used this brand? Any good?<br /><br />Is my 1986 Merc 75 HP a 12 pole system?<br /><br />Dan

Re: Faria Gauges

I have a 2004 Crestliner that has Faria guages. They look nice and seem to work fine. I have a speedo, tach, volt meter, trim guage, and fuel guage.<br /><br />The only problem I had is with the fuel guage. When you turn the key, sometimes it will stick on empty until you give it a slight tap. Then it will work correctly. This has only happened a few times. <br /><br />They all seem to read accurate. I think all newer crestliners may have them.<br /><br />Check out this link. The prices seem to be good on Faria Gauges. http://kvesurplus.com/Instrumentation.html <br /><br />These are the same gauges I have. http://kvesurplus.com/93.html <br />Jay

Re: Faria Gauges

Faria makes good guages. I have a Faria tach on my boat. <br /><br />BTW, there was a press release by Faria a while back about fake knock-off gauges being sold as Faria gauges. If I can find the link, I'll post it.

Re: Faria Gauges

I put a Faria tach in my auto 40 years ago. Worked fine. Probably doesn't work now!

Re: Faria Gauges

I contacted Faria and they said these were made for Bayliner and are probably surplus. The description says Bayliner and minor scratches on bezel. Going for a good price so far. <br /><br />Thanks for the replies,<br /><br />Dan

Re: Faria Gauges

Faria is a good brand- I have all Faria gauges in my boat; fuel, volts, speedo, tach, trim , temp. ProLine uses ( or used) Faria gauges in their boats. I've seen many branded gauges out there that were made by Faria. <br /><br /> Their website is great- tons of info on gauge hook up and troubleshooting. I have the domed lenses on mine and I think they look fabulous. I've gotten many compliments on the gauge panel on my boat because it shines so well in the sunlight. <br /><br />UFM82

Re: Faria Gauges

Authentic Faria gauges are top-notch and I wasn't trying to discourage you, just to let you know to be on the lookout. I'm sure you'll be very happy with your purchase.

Re: Faria Gauges

Here's my first set of Farias on an '88 Bayliner:<br />

<br /><br />And here are my current gauges on an '03 Bayliner:<br />

<br /><br />All have worked flawlessly and haven't given me a lick of trouble.

Re: Faria Gauges

My Chris Craft also had these gages. No problem with them and they seem to be a good product.<br /><br />If you have any problem with the gages, you can send them back to Faria for a rebuild. I had Faria work on my sync and one of the tachs last year - they did a good job fixing the "sticky needles".

Re: Faria Gauges

I’ve had them.. they do what their made to do... but personally i like gaffrig or Livorsi gauges. ive also had some friends who have had great results with SScomp gauges... if i had to re-rig i would use them for sure.<br /><br /> http://www.sscompetition.com/
