Gbonzo Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 What would be the rough cost to replace digital gauges for a F150 Yamaha? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradM Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Contact Eric Clayton, the Gauge Saver on Facebook. He can probably rebuild them and have them working and looking like new. His charge is $50 per gauge. New ones, depending on what model, can be from $250 ea. on up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 A pair (speed and tach) of round, Command Link gauges, will run you about $800. Those are the gauges that have the mpg, etc data. You might call Sim Yamaha to check their pricing for new gauges. You can also check ebay to see what you can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Look at the "sticky" on refurb on gauges, they seem to satisfy those folks who have done for a fraction of new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just did mine and they look great! He recently found a film that mimics the gray on the newer gauges (old ones when greenish) and it looks nice. Heck, I've got a pic. The one pic that looks like they're not on, they are. The faces were already polished before I sent them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy21 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I've got those exact gauges sitting in my workshop and I should sell them. I sold the Yamaha 200 hp 2 stroke a few years ago and forgot I still had the gauges and 704 control. They are in very good condition and have clear lenses. Wonder what they are worth?

F1sh0n Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Would you be able to just incorporate your gauges into a multifunction device like a chart plotter and just go away from dedicated gauges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at doing this since my command link gauges need replaced. Just digging into it but looks like a good option. I don't use my gauges for much anyway so I really hate to spend the money on them. Now I just need to figure out the NMEA2000 stuff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcathey Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Easy to hook gauges to your plotter. I would worry about losing alarms or check engine notifications. I doubt that shows up on the plotter. I have one gauge that I’m going to send off but now I can see that info on my simrad. I wish I would’ve done it a long time ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nauti Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Actually, from what I've read you do get alarms on the plotter, and more detailed engine information (actual hours, temps, fuel & water pressure, etc). The bonus is I can go to a bigger screen now and still be cheaper than new gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcathey Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Good to know, I have to order a water pressure sensor and an additional fuel sensor to get every bit of info on mine. I’m doing that shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
