Hey guys.... I'm looking to change the gauges on my verado because the lenses are cracked from the sun. Will these gauges work on a verado? The first pic is of the gauges on my boat and the second is the ones I would like to get.

The gauges you have are Smartcraft System Link gauges.
I believe the ones in the lower picture are ANALOG... meaning you'd need an AGI (analog gauge interface) to drive them.
What primary Smartcraft Instrument do you have? I don't see one on your dash.... and can't imagine having a Verado without a Primary Smartcraft instrument.

Sorry Don... What do you mean by primary smartcraft instrument? I do have the square monitor gauge, if that's what you mean? Are there any pros or cons switching to analog? also can i order a AGI from you? thank you very much for your help
Based on your description, you have a System Monitor as your primary Smartcraft Instrument.
Switching to analog gauges would actually be a step backwards- they're notriously inaccurate, and certainly not digital (as are your current System Links).
You could upgrade to newer System Link Gauges (plug and play), and also might consider upgrading to a MercMonitor (perhaps in place of the current Speedo or Tach).
I'd recommend the WHITE face gauges, as they seem to hold up the best to sunlight, offer the best/most readable contrast, and incidentally, are the most cost effective.
Feel free to drop me an email with a list of the gauges you currently have- I'll work you up some options to consider.

Hey Don... Will the merc monitor fit in my exisiting tach location? I remember seeing another post where a triton owner had to make a back plate because the merc monitor was smaller. Here is a updated pic of the gauges I have..
Sure will... your gauge openings are 3-3/8" already.
You could also consider another system link (small) to replace the System Monitor (such as engine temp or oil pressure).
