RE: Digital Gauges

Search on this forum as the teleflex OEM gauges on those years have known problems - the nearest dealership with give you a good price on the faria analog gauges most people replace them with.

RE: Digital Gauges

my 2002 210te gauges did the same thing last summer and I managed to get them replaced free under recall. Contact Teleflex directly, not your dealer for this one. You'll still need your HID#. I wish I would have just put the analog looking ones in now though. I really don't like the digital read out. So, if you have money to spend go ahead and get the 2003-current style, if you want to save money or like the digital ones, contact teleflex for some free ones.

RE: Digital Gauges

here is what they sent me back............

Hello David. There was no recall. There was a 5 year warranty dated from delivery of the boat to the first consumer. All warrantees ran out in mid 2007. The digital units are no longer being produced. We can offer analog instruments that may fill you needs. See the attached/ Happy New Year.

They sent me the same response,

Anyone know of a better looking gauge than the teleflex analog that will replace the original digitals?

[DWhitt]

Sorry, that stinks. I guess I got mine under warranty then. I swore the guy I talked to said there was a recall. Even if there wasn't they knew that there was a problem with the gauges. Oh well, at least you have an excuse to buy the good gauges now....

If you search on Faria you can see my posting on the Faria swap. I like them. Having said that and having had 6 boats in my lifetime I find a speedometer a waste of time. Get the Faria or Teleflex Tach and Perfect pass. If it leaves you with an extra hole get a nice clock or depthfinder to fill it.

I just had the Faria swap done. However, previously, I had the teleflex guages replaced 4 times. I could swear I was told the Teleflex guages had a life time warranty. I guess I could be wrong. I was told by both my dealer
and WCC that the teleflex guages are no longer manufactured, and it is getting very hard to find them. BKH

Search for my post on the Faria....it's a pdf file you can download.

Has anyone tried to install the newer style 03-04 gauges in the 00-02 boats?

I was also wondering the same. Or is it possible to switch them out with other style gauges from teleflex? The digital LCD gauges don't run off a paddle wheel, just a pitot tube correct? So is it possible to just swap them out with a traditional gauge and not the faria one? There are some nice options out there for cheap.

There are people on here who have swapped in the analog Teleflex gauges. Do a search.

You probably wont have any luck installing the newer '03+ Nautique gauges in the '00-02 boats. The newer gauges are much larger (5" diameter).
