Anybody know of a good source for replacement gauges for the tach, temp, oil pressure, etc.. that look similar and will fit the holes for the OEM gauges on a F-32? My tachs are innacurate, temp does not move, oil pressure pegged even though I replaced with new dual station senders.

Are both sets of your gauges inaccurate? (Up and down stations)

If so, I doubt your problem is in the gauges...more like a wiring problem.
What year and motors do you have?

I bought all my new Faria gauges on Ebay. They were only a little cheaper than locally, but at least I could shop while being paid at work!

I have twin Chryser 360's at 250Hp each. 1978. I have checked the senders and they have the proper ohm ratings at the temperature ranges they operate in. The wiring has been checked for continuity and all connections are proper and tight and match the schematics.

My original guages are junk Smiths and not worth replacing.

I redid my 25 with some nice Teleflex Lidos, and plan to redo my F32 this winter as well - look better and much more reliable. Diesle makes the tacks a challenge, as there is no distributor ...

I know they don't look the best but probably the most reliable tachs for a diesel are the ones from Dynalco. You can buy the mag pickup, cable and tach from them. They are durable as hell.

We've got them scattered throughout our fleet of offshore supply boats here at work. There is also a company called Murphy that make a tach that is almost identical looking. Might be a private label deal....

Very easy install and setup...
