Best Gauges?

I have livorsi, I do not like them at all.
Faded pointer, some fogging on the face at times and the face has started to crack. They are the mega race style.
I have talked to them about it, Marty was nice but said yes they have had some problems with the plastic fading and cracking.

I will be replacing with something else

It looks like all of the Livorsi gauges have orange needles which I will not do again.

Autometer rep told me they have never heard of this needle problem and I told him that complete bull****. He said they have had a set sitting in their office window in direct sunlight for year with zero fade. I asked him why they were doing that if they never had a problem and let him know there building has UV glass windows.

My Livorsi gauges have black needles, chrome bezels and white faces.

Personally, I’m a big fan of Livorsi. Both the products and the customer service.

Got 3 sets of nice gauges and 2 fancy throttle/shift controls. So I spent some money with them. Called with a warr. issue with the anodize finish on the controls and got shut down. So, still good stuff but could be better imo.

Garmin solves all of these issues with NEMA. Plug and play is so easy and accurate input from the e.c.u. is much more comforting at speed. I don't think that I will have another mechanical gauge in the boats that I am updating (other then trim indicators).

No NEMA connecting on an old 300 Promax.

Looks like you have a moisture/ventilation problem in that console. I suggest to install some vents for cross ventilation.
If you have some electrical equipment like battery charger, stereo amp etc in a tight sealed area it will create heat.....MPO
I have been using Autometer for years without an issue like that.

Have had zero issues with my Livorsi gauges. Had to replace the connector on the water pressure gauge (my problem) and Livorsi sent a free replacement within 2 weeks. Excellent customer service.

Nope. Big opening right under the dash. Couldnt be better ventilated but thats not the problem. If the gauges are sealed it doesnt matter where you put them. Sealed is sealed. If they arent, moisture WILL get in. The new set is going in the house with the AC turned down overnight then the light bulbs installed in the house to lessen the amount of moisture in them.

[Mr. Demeanor]

This is the console and there is no door on the back. Its just open like in this pic before I painted it.

Livorsi has a tremendous reputation, and Autometer do as well. Faria are great gauges too, and you can find great deals on them as well. Hardin are nice, priced well and have that custom look, custom bezels etc.

Best gauges?

I have a set of new AutoMeter gauges that have the orange needles and have already faded to pink in a few months. They also fog so bad in the evening they are not useable. AutoMeter wants me to send them in for repair which seems ridiculous. My boat will be down for 2-3 weeks with no gauges and honestly I have zero faith that what I get back will be any better. All four gauges did the same thing so its not an isolated issue with a bad seal or something on one gauge.




Im thinking of just ordering all new....again. Its my understanding that Livorsi is the same crap as AutoMeter so this time Im asking before buying.




My 7 year old Teleflex gauges look like the day I put them in so I am just do that with some bezels to doctor them up.

You bought those new? They've never been apart? Just have Autometer or the dealer replace or repair them, they have a 12 month warranty.
