"I never ... REPEAT, NEVER"....emmm, interesting comment there mate, why not have them removed and rely on the alarms (under the same theme).....

....are you NUTS! Some of your comments are very interesting , other times you seem to be reading a book somewhere in space.....

Idiot Lights are for.....????


Gages tell the story, the more Gages the Better.

MInimum Gages that are a Must
1) Compass
2) Tach
3) VDC
4) Engine Temp
5) Fuel


Im adding an interesting Gage to my Charterboat that will show
Time,Date, Temp inside & out, Barometric Pressure, Wind Speed, Moon Phaze. Bet you dont have one of those!

also adding Hourmeter, Ammeter & Turbo Vacume and EGT, Water Temp

Its a waste of space and a terrible distraction at night to have a dash full of gauges .
You must not prove that you have NO idea about going to sea Michael, we know that!
