    Does your dash panel have screws in the face? If so, do yourself a favor and pull the complete dash off with guages attached.
    I just replaced my water pressure and Trim guages with Faria guages. I also replaced my small non working Lowrance X51 with a HB small unit.
    Post a pic of your shroud.

    Maybe someone with a model close to yours will chime in, but I would start by removing the HB unit. More than likely held in place with a couple of screws on the backside.
    That removal will give you a good size hole in the shroud to inspect the guages and possibility what is holding the shroud in place.

    Cool, how did you get to the guages?
    Another good source for Stratos parts and info is Carol at C&O Marine. She is a wealth of information. If she doesnt have what you need she can order something or just advise you to where you can get it. 615 797 4760

    I have a 09 201 XLE with the same gauges. They still work but I can barely read the screen. What did you have to do to replace them? What did you replace them with?

    I took out the HB unit and built a custom dual mount. My gauge info now displays on my C12.

    It was a lot of work, but worth it.
