Hello everyone, have been reading/absorbing a lot of information on the forum (this forum helped me decide to go with the Bayliner 175).
I took the boat out this weekend for the first time, had a awesome weekend (took delivery Saturday and used it all day sat/sun) Needless to say I am HOOKED, this is our first boat.
Anyway, I am looking to remediate one serious shortcoming of the 2012's... LACK OF GAUGES!
I am going to add a depth finder/engine hour meter soon, and after this weekend, I really don't like the lack of a trim gauge and want to add one. (down the road, if I can find a good spot to mount them, I would like to add engine temp/oil pressure kinda gauges too) just not sure where to put them other than to use automotive gauge "cups" and just line them up over the factory gauges?
Does anyone know if the sending unit is pre-installed on a 2012 Mercruiser 3.0/ Alpha 1 setup? I am trying to figure out if I will need just a gauge to install in the dash, or will I need a sending unit as well? I have been searching the forums for a wiring color diagram to know what will be needed, but the closest I could find was people replacing factory trim gauges, not adding a new one all together.
any advice?
