I just found out that this is no longer made. My local FW dealer had found a shop that will reprogram/refinish the dash gauge making it work like new again. But to the tune if $350 plus shipping and that is if I remove the dash myself. No thanks. Thought it was interesting that the replacement dash for boats our vintage is no longer available.

Nope. Wrong year and style. He needs this cluster.

$350 is cheap. Older Lexus's have gauge problems and they can cost in the $1000 range to fix.

$350 is also cheaper then buying new gauges and making a new dash

Marc,

Halls in Muskgon has a shelf full of old dash inserts. Give parts a call if you need one. I still have a new one in the box for a later adventure on my boat.

Dave...yes was in Halls in Muskegon yesterday afternoon and that is where I got the info and quote from. Funny thing is they do have a new dash and passenger side dash for my boat sitting on the shelf. However...it is just the shell and no actual dash. I did ask about the passenger side one as I have a few small bubbles on the top of mine. $1,020 :shock: :shock: :shock:. I have never bought any type of part at Halls for this very reason...there prices are outrageous to a laughable level. They make West Marine look cheap at times.
