After only 20 hours trim gage looks like it failed at the gage end. Anyone have a lead on a better quality replacement? Its a 4.3 V6 Volvo.

Usually its the sending unit that fails, or the wiring, not the dashboard gauge.
I used to only get 1.5 seasons out of the OE OMC sending units, ironically the one that has lasted the longest (third season in salt water) is an aftermarket Sierra one. They can be a pain to change.

This one looks like the needle in the gage broke.
