White face guages

[CraziFuzzy]

I'm looking to add a battery meter to my '05 185 Sport. It has the factory guages in it, with a single small spot empty in the center. The guages are black lettering on white face, with a white needle, and chrome bezel. Has anyone seen a source for these guages?

Some research online and it LOOKS like they are the Teleflex Driftwood series guages. however, I can't seem to find anything in that line with the chrome bezel...

Well, not so much luck there. They ARE teleflex driftwood guages, but sea ray had them custom made with the chrome bezel. Teleflex directed me to sea ray for the part. Anyone got a good source of official sea ray parts?

Anyone got a good source of official sea ray parts?

Your local dealer? The question will be whether or not the voltmeter gauge was even contracted to be made.

Now, I don't know if you could do this, or not, but... your black out gauge has an SS bezel. Why not see if you can't gently pry it off from the back side and switch with a non-SS one? Experiment on the black-out gauge - it's probably less than $10 to replace it if you need to.

Turns out they will be able to get me the gauge. $45, with a 3 week lead time - that'll do for me at least. I did think about the black-out insert, but the glass seems like it's bonded to the SS - just didn't want to mess with it if an original was available - which it turns out, will be.

Good to hear.

"They" got your the gauge... just out of curiosity, Teleflex or your dealer?
