    Replacement gauges for 1995 Stratos 278dc questions.

    Does anyone have suggestions for replacement gauges for a 95 stratos 278dc? I am looking for a set of descent gauges but not over the top priced gauges. My gauges are bassically shot and need all 6 gauges. Water, volt, speedo, tach, trim, water pressure. I have been looking around, but did not really know what to look for in quality gauges. I purchased a new 07 etec 150 last year and it seems the gauges really took a hit over the winter and now its time to replace them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    I just replaced all my gauges in my 96 201 pro . I did alot of web searching and found the best deal on marine gauges at Boatersland marine supplys. I went with the Faria SS Cheasapeak white. They look great and the prices are pretty reasonable.. The tach and the speedo will be the most pricey.. All the others run about 27 bucks a piece.. I strecthed the purchaces out, did a few at time so I wouldnt break the fishing bank..

    Those are similar to what I did on the 96 278 I just sold. The worst part is changing the connector over to the newer style and it hard when your laying on your back in a small space. Search in the restoration section, there's some good stuff in there.

    Good luck.
