Can anyone suggest a decent quality, reasonably priced one that will not look too out of place? [Reply]   [No Email]

Don't know if it would be too large, physically...... http://www.harborfreight.com/in-dash-voltmeter-95779.html This post was edited by mbramble at 16:29:45 01/11/13 2 times. [Reply]  [No Email]

I've seen two inch ones on eBay for around $25 and they're water resistant. Just a thought. [Reply]  [No Email]

Marine stuff is a tad 'spendy', but there is a reason for that. When I sailed the single sea (Pacific) in my 37 footer, we didn't have ANYTHING but 'marine' guages and fittings. They are bullet/salt/weatherproof. (Not really sure about the 'bullet' part) HTH [Reply]  [No Email]

The gauge is a Teleflex Heavy Duty series, about $25 buck, a boat gauge, and looks just like the old black faced SW gauges. [Reply]  [No Email]
