want to replace gauges for cosmetic reasons

[Braxton]

hi i want to change out my gauges on my boat, fuel,trim, and tach. they work i just don't like the black, id like to get them on here and i know what i want. question is do you just undo the wire from under the console and replace or is there a whole can of stuff im opening up just so i think it will look good? Thank you. <br /><br />1995 cobia CC 174 1995 yamaha 85hp.

If you buy the right gauge for your set up (e.g. get the right trim gauge for the engine/sender that you have - same goes for others), it should be an easy switch if the gauges are the same size. On my boat, the trickiest part for gauge work is getting to the work - it can be tight under there.<br /><br />Most gauge comapnies (e.g. teleflex) have pretty complete gauge selection and installation guides on line.

Take out the front seats, you'll gain a lot of room to lie under the helm. Be sure all of the wire terminations and wiring in general is nice if you're swapping gauge for gauge. Boat wiring can be a mess.
