Re-arranged Gauges

[Tyger]

(wrecking this thread)

A word to the wise (from someone not so wise :P):

If you are going to re-arrange your guages make sure you get the wires back in the correct spot the first time. I only maked the wire locations after I pulled the temp guage and walked to the garage and back, so I wasn't sure about the location of two wires. I figured I would just try them both ways and see which one made the needle move.

Well after that neither my temp guage (which I had moved) nor my fuel guage (where I drew power for the depth guage I was adding). This was a while ago and I finally got it into the shop to get it fixed since I couldn't figure it out. They told me the guages were fried and I'd have to get new guages.

While I was waiting to check out, I saw a Moomba tach sitting on the counter. I looked at th sticker around it and it said not to mis-connect these two wires or you could damage the guage.

However, now that things are fixed, I enjoy having my guages in spots that make more sense to me. I just wish I had been more careful.

On the positive side, Rinker's Boat World treated me good on the price of the repair.

Tyger,

Really sorry that you encountered issues. Glad you are back in business and are liking the new gauge locations.
