I'm putting all new Autometer gauges in mine. I deleted the HDS5 and went with the 5" tach and 5" GPS speedo. I plan to put the water pressure gauge in between them on top if there's room. Waiting on the dash panels from CBailey, hopefully get them by this weekend.

What kind of dash panel does chris have

I ordered the upper dash panels from him. They are aluminum panels cut to the shape of the console. I was going to do them myself but wanted the powdercoating to match the other parts I got from him.

I think so, or at least he use to. Not sure if that's still an option.

I have ordered the other gauges from autometer now, they actually arrived today. I took the old non working X97 out of mine and having a aluminum piece water jetted to fit there, going to install a radio in it. Should look pretty kool in center of dash. Havent seen one done that way.

Sounds interesting, never seen one like that. Post some pics when you get everything in place.

I dont't know to post pics anymore but my rig has smart craft monitor and is mema capable to the hds touch I installed in the consol. I have the graph, merc monitor, water pres and water temp on the right side of the graph with the monitor being on the bottom part of the console. The left side has a detwiller plate gage (worthless) on the top next to the graph with the ignition switch and CB Marine timed hole shot plat switch on the bottom part. It makes for a clean console and very easy to read. I have the merc monitor and graph reading RPM, WP, WT (engine), Trim, and a few other items. I only have the independent WP and WT analog gages as back up to the electronic version in the monitor. I have found that the WP is slower on a smart craft gage so I took it put and installed a manual gage.
I have trouble posting pictures myself, sound like a functional dash though

Eli, thanks. I like the way the dash works for me. If the Wt starts to rise to much it gives me a chance to recover before going into guardian. Haven't done much testing as the lake is pretty small right now but am still able to go fishing at 93.
There ya go, very few beat us to hole
