I have an 87' Grady-White w/ 87' Merc 150 Black Max. All original parts (still).<br /><br />I put her away for the winter, but now I'm looking to start getting her ready for the spring.<br /><br />1) The trim (tilt ?)gauge stopped working during the summer. The trim works fine (motor moves up/down) just the gauge no longer works.<br /><br />2) The fuel gauge works somewhat. It does not go all the way to FULL when its full. And it does not go all the way to empty when its empty (this part caught me - ouch!).<br /><br />3) The wiring where all the gauges & switches connects to could use an overhaul. I'm a bit of a neat freak, and I can't stand to see that birds nest of wires.<br /><br />Should I fix each gauge, replace them OR replace the entire gauge cluster and wiring bus with newer stuff. <br /><br />Thanks in advance ! Have a happy and safe new year. :) <br /><br />John
