    2003 TR186 Replacement Gauges

    Guys, looking for feedback from the Triton board on aftermarket gauges, brand and size. Need to replace tach, water and speed gauges.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    I did mine with Autometer silver marine with a GPS speedo. I had it narrowed down to those and a Faria Beede Platnium set. I couldn't get the right speedo parameters/ gps in the Faria Beede, so that pushed me to Autometer. Autometer has, chrome, silver, white and carbon fiber series.

    Never look at any gauge except trim since I got vessel view mobile. You could go that route if your xr6 is compatible.

    Faria is a good choice as well.

    I will check that out but I am guessing a 2003 XR6 won't be. I am with you, I use the trim gauge all the time but I like to have the tach functioning to view RPM/Speed ratio on the engine. That will tell you a lot and if something is off, especially with an old motor.

    Yup Lightning, the motors compatible on the Merc website are 2004 and up.

    Dammit, that would be cool.
