At the title states I’m looking to update the gauges on my 2005 Carver 36 it’s the original gauges and I’m willing to update them where do I get the gauges does anybody know is there a certain company or something thank you very much for any leads

Thanks for any leads

Is this something you're going to do yourself or getting someone else to do it for you? If someone like the marina is doing it, they'll have access to gauges from their distributors. If you're doing it, you can get them ordered from any marina or on-line supplier. Faria Beede (https://fariabeede.com/2-pages/products_marine.php) makes a good product, so does Sierra, VDO, etc. It helps to know what brand you currently have as you want to make sure the senders you currently have on the engines, fuel tanks, etc. will be compatible with the new gauges.

Why are you replacing the gauges?

If you are replacing due to function loss, and it is the gauge, check with the OEM first. The warranty on some of those may be lifetime. Faria replaced a set of gauges for me, as the face plate decals had dried out and started warping away from the actual gauge plate. That was on a 20 year old boat. er

After getting to our spot and dropping the hook ive always covered my guages / helm station with a towel etc to keep from any fading like cooler mentioned. So far so good
