Looking for used gauges......

[GLS062866]

Looking to see if anyone has some used gauges maybe from upgrade or repower they are looking to get rid of for fair price. I am looking for the water temp gauge (top middle in picture) and fuel (larger on right in picture). I guess this is referred to as fuel management (since not just fuel?). It works but the display is so light I can barely see the fuel bars. Just dark enough to see right side of bars and then fade to almost nothing on the left side of bars. I have checked all grounds and voltage drop. Even hooked good battery directly to gauge with no difference. So I am assuming gauge is just seen better days. They were like this when i bought boat.
thanks,

Water temp gauges are pretty easy and cheap to come by. Craigslist, eBay, etc. As far as your fuel gauge, from what you're describing it sounds like the polarizer and/or reflective film needs replacing. I made this same repair to my tach gauge, using this THT thread as my guide:

It's not difficult, just takes patience and a delicate hand. Scrubbing the adhesive off the LCD glass is what's most time consuming. If you're not a DIY'er, the website fairdeal listed does a good job. The guy who started that company got the idea by repairing his own gauges, using the same THT thread listed above to guide him. For $50 + shipping both ways he'll make the gauge look/function like brand new.
