Cracked tach lens

Pat310

Does anyone know where to find a lens or a gauge  to replace the the one I cracked?  It’s from a 2003 310. It was originally brass finished. Thought they were Faria but they are not marked and the number on the back doesn’t seem similar to any Faria models I’ve seen on eBay

Doing some searching online they appear to be Teleflex gauges for anyone looking this up in the future. Found one very similar on eBay with same plug on back side so should slip right in. Bezel is slightly different and no hour meter which wouldn’t have been correct anyway.

Pat that gauge in the eBay link is exactly what my 2001 310fv had so I think you have nailed it. Never knew it was teleflex. I wonder if someone painted your gold rims black? I’ve seen some guys on here do that.

Make sure you measure my 270 was 3 1/2 inch and my 342 was 4 inch. I do have a used one from my 270 I'm going to use for the motors I'm rebuilding. No hour meter

Actually @Liberty44140 that’s how I cracked it. Polishing the trim rings on a buffing wheel to prep for paint ☹️. @reneechris14 I will make sure of size when I go to boat this week. Thanks for the heads up

I was able to remove the smaller gauge trims to paint but I taped off the bigger gauges glass to paint.

@Handymans342 i liked how yours looked so I used the paint you recommended in your thread. https://rinkerboats.vanillacommunities.com/discussion/8414/342-gauges#latest  How did they hold up?  Found this gauge that the bezel is flat like mine

@Pat310 From what I know they are still holding up well.

Just to update, I could not find a 5” replacement tach so I was able to remove the trim ring and broken lens. I ordered a 4 9/16” convex clock replacement glass on ebay and epoxied it all back togetherNew switch covers also installed

You certainly would not know any difference.  Looks good!

Sweet. I m looking to get new switch overs too, we have the same boat. Where did you get your from eventually, got a pick list I can just send them?

Pat310

I bought some from New Wire Marine and some from EBay. The eBay ones were much more expensive but had the two lenses. Also eBay seller had bigger variety of labels. So I got arch, transom, hatch,blower, bilge and cockpit from eBay and the rest from mew wire. Ebay seller was rryachtserviceinc. Also switched stereo power to acc switch by ignition keys

Ian

Thanks @Pat310. I did the same with the stereo feed ages ago too, seemed odd to have a spare ACC right next to the key.

www.gagesaver.com is a good place to go for replacement lenses. They can even update the faces if needed
