I have determined that my tach is faulty and would really like it to work. That and my oil pressure gauge are the only two not functioning. Oil pressure gauge is an unknown since I can't find the wire that's suppose to go on the oil pressure sender. The tach however, is a known bad gauge. Is there anywhere that sells these "knight rider" style gauges? I could buy any tach out there and it works so the job but then it wouldn't have a place to go.

I don't mind not being 100% original however I don't want to Frankenstein the boat if I do absolutely need to.

It is my sig boat BTW, '87 195
Thanks gents

Ebay has a decent selection of gauges. Went looking last night to see how much it would be to change mine.

I've looked on eBay and every other site and can't find a gauge that'll work.

I got one of those for my H180. Worked great. I also restyled the dash a bit to look more modern.

You're probably going to have to replace all the old gauges if you want them to match.
Like Ric and others have done. Looks great.
Believe it or not I still have the 26 year old Medallion gauges and they all still work.

Ric, what steering wheel is that? Looks pretty awesome. Is it stainless?

That looks awesome Ric. Thank you for showing those pics. That's what I'll have to do. I don't mind doing the entire gauge cluster/dash/helm area but...I don't want ONE round gauge up there in the midst of the OEM's.

Thanks gents
