I want to outfit my boat with any gauges that might notify me of trouble - any ideas?<br /><br />I currently have a Tach, Speedo, Gas, Trim. thinking about getting a Volt and a Hour meter.

Volt and some sort of temperature guage. Do you have an outboard or inboard?<br />Inbourd would need an oil presure guage too.

Re: Gauges

Get a flow gauge to see how much fuel your engines using.

Re: Gauges

Yes, a fuel flow guage is a nice thing to add. Have a look at the Navman series. I have a Navman Fuel 3100 myself (interfaced to a GPS Chart plotter). <br /> http://www.navman.com/marine/products/fuel/index.html <br /><br />Hour meter is good also so You know when to service the engine.

Re: Gauges

Depending on where you buy them, the volt meter and hour meter should each set you back about $20-$30, with the temp going a little higher.<br /><br />The fuel flow guage is nice, but it'll set you back at least $150.<br /><br />Your profile states you're running a 200HP Evinrude on a 23/24' Hydra Sport, so the fuel flow guage might be fun to watch!
