What gauges do you have? [Archive]

I'm ready to start rigging. On my lady v-drive I had a lot of holes to fill. A lot of gauges I didn't need. This dash has no holes, I'm mounting the gauges on the steering column, circle boat style. Not a lot of room. Here's what I think I'll do. Tach, oil psi and oil temp with a water psi warning light.
What do you have?

Yea. I figure the over board is a good enough indication of water pressure. Was thinking about a low psi warning light.

We run water temp instead of psi, which if the psi drops, the temp will go up as well, so you can doit either way. We run the idiot light on the oil psi and water temp. I can send you a picture of the column cluster on the 034, if you'd like. I like the set up, as does Chris.

Oil pressure. That is about all I need. Tach is nice when first setting the boat up and getting the feel. We run oil temp too. Idiot light on oil pressure in case you are racing. Water pressure is a nice idea, but an idiot light on pressure will always be on unless you are going 20mph. If your pickup gets plugged, it will tell you. Temp sometimes won't, as we have had no water in the block and that doesn't tell you the temp of air real well.

Original issue B boat dash right from the factory. Stewart Warner oil pressure & engine temp sandwiching a Jones tattle tale tach.

Here's what the Faulkner boat looks like. There aren't many circle boats with no holes in the dash. I can only think of 1 off hand (bottom pic).

As of right now Bruce, boost of any kind is off the table. Brenda said "build as much horsepower as you want, blower, turbos, nitrous...just hand over the prop. You can rev your engine all you want on the anchor rope". Sooooo, I think I'll enjoy what I have for a while.

We are all autometer carbon fiber

We try to go as mechanical as possible. But have a electric tach

I was wondering who was going to be the first to point that out. Lol. Yes, that's how we run it, he can't see it when it's right side up. (Not that he ever looks at it lol)

Why does he even have a throttle anyway?

A on/off toggle switch would be cheaper LOL
