My temperature gauge still works, but it is way off... Its a simple old style analog gauge on an '07 H200. Problem is, it shows 140-150 when cold, then goes to 190-200 at normal running temp. Exhaust manifolds feel normal once warmed up. Everything seems fine, I would just like to make this more realistic somehow. Anyone know of a way to do this? |

For the curious, I tried this once before and it didn't work, but today it did. Hit the gauge with knuckles while cruising and the offset dropped off. It's the gauge. |

Again, for the curious, I opted to remove my 4 gauge cluster and utilize Faria Beade's repair service. It was just under $150 and they got it done faster than was quoted and mailed it back to me. Additionally, it looked brand new when I got it back! I installed it, and everything is working awesome again. I definitely recommend their service-- I opted this route so I could still keep the Four Winns OEM'd logo design rather than buying a new one which almost matches. Couldn't be happier! |

Glad to hear their repair service works well. I still have the 35 year old Medallion gauges in my old '88 H-200 and they all still work (including the trim gauge but to keep that working I replace the sensor every 5 or so seasons). A few years after this pic was taken I repaired both the speedo (just cleaned out the hose) and the low reading voltmeter (wiring issue) pic must be about 10 years old! https://www.dropbox.com/s/2htblj2p8idua ... s.JPG?dl=0 |

Nice LouC! I must admit, you are the master at keeping older craft working! |

Thanks, I actually prefer older simpler tech like carburetors and points distributors, parts are easy to find, repairs aren't hard when you know how these archaic systems work. I look at modern I/O boats and between poor access for repairs, expensive to repair EFI, cat converter exhaust, sky high parts prices for everything be it Merc or V/P and CANBUS wiring, I say no thanks. Like you used to see on the back of a TV set "no user serviceable parts inside" |
