Anyone know of a good place to buy OMC Gauges on line. It doesnt seem that any of the Iboat-companies have theese, i did a search. I ordered some from Surplusunlimited, but havnt heard from them - are they out of business ? I already got 2 gauges with my motor, trim and rpm, and like to have water pressure and speedo.

Re: Place to buy OMC gauges

Just a note here.<br /><br />I had OMC gauges in my boat for 5 years and now they are all crap!<br /><br />These gauges are not the best in the industry.<br /><br />After 5 years of swapping out these gauges, I have gone to the TeleFlex gauges, and what a difference.<br /><br />Now the Temp gauge shows a constant reading as does the Tach.<br /><br />Trim gauge hardly ever worked.<br /><br />Fuel gauge is now steady, even with a partial fuel load, the gauge does not bounce.<br /><br />Water Pressure gauge also hardly ever worked correctly, one time it would read 35psi, shut off engine, then have 55psi, shut off engine again and restart, then I would have 10psi, all while connected to the flushing device, never touching the water input.<br /><br />Too inconsistant for me!<br /><br />In my opinion, it would be worth while investing in some other manufacturerer for gauges!<br /><br />Kenny

Re: Place to buy OMC gauges

Thanks for your replies - all.<br /><br />ob - they only carry Teleflex and Faria as far as I can see.<br /><br />kennykencan - thanks for the advice, I´l consider it.<br /><br />Djohns19 - In fact I tried to order from Surplusunlimited. I started sending a question if they would ship to DK, and got a reply they would - no problem. I mailed an order, but never got any reply about payment. I sent a couple of reminders - but no reaction ??? Do you know of any difficulties ??

Do any of you know if an Évinrude 115HP 1991 has build-in pitotube for speedo or is it only the Mercs ?
