    They are Teleflex. They do not make them anymore. Take them off and spray electric cleaner in them from the back where you can adjust them. This has worked for me in the past when I owned that exact boat.

    Hey Whalpin...They are Teleflex gauges. We may possibly have some still in stock. Have your dealer check with Rinker Parts for cost and availability if the spray electric cleaner doesn't work.

    Thanks!  Twinscan tach on left...fuel flow meters on right.  A lot simpler to keep synched and the flow meters are a definate plus for longer trips and refueling (not over filling).  I installed engine hour meters where the oringinal chartplotter was (just to left of pic).

    Since the gauges are not the same size as original, I used a black plastic as a fill ring and reused the gold trim from the tachs so it looks pretty 'standard'..just white gauges.

    here is one of the flow meters installed, they need to be horizontal and it is mounted between the inline fuel filter and the fuel/water separator.  This is the starboard engine looking straight down by the firewall.
