Gauge removal

[CheapboatKev]

Ok, I am prob an idiot..
Need a quick tip on removing gauges from the panel.
I have the panel removed with the gauges attached.
To remove them, do the chrome rings on the face unscrew or???

Thanks for the help

Kev my boat is upside down so I dont know . I do know on a car aftermarket guages usually have a U shaped bracket attatched to the back of the guage that holds it in.

Roflmao Kev same thing here this morning and now the suns out for a while . Take a couple good pics for me one of the back of guages and one of the front . Ooooooooor I could go out and jack mine up and crawl under it on the creeper . I am gonna go look at your dash to see if our guages are the same .

Re: Gauge removal

Ok the guages to the left of the steering wheel are the same s mine . The ones to the right in the removable panel I would assume are the ones you re trying to remove . There is either a cup that screws over the back of them to hold them to the dash oooooor the brass U shaped piece I talked about before .

Re: Gauge removal

sorry i missed this one, but you got it figured out BTW there is some kind of dried snot that starcraft used to protect from corrosion. POA ... SWMBO doesn't like it when you rebuild a gauge cluster at the dining room table (But honey, I had to keep an eye on our 2-1/2 yo son)
