[Public-List] Public-List Digest, Vol 3517, Issue 1

[Gordon Laco via Public-List]

Thank you Matt – 

Don at Moyer Marine answered at the same time you did.  He says that the mechanical cables have not been available for over 30 years.

I’m going to order an electric tach from him, and also oil pressure and ammeter.  I’ll make a new panel which fits into the dimensions of the factory supplied Universal Marine A4 face.  

Finally I’ll have all my instruments in one place…  previous owners have put engine temp, fuel, elsewhere in the boat as the ones in the panel died.  Well now the tach, the main even, is gone, I’ll make myself a new one.

Cheers – 

Gord
