voltmeter 3100 open 2001 - drifter - 04-18-2016

Need a flush mount voltmeter for a 2001 3100 Open.  Or repair source.

Post a photo of the front and back of what you currently have please, may know a source for gauges depending on what you need.

We need more information. What voltage? AC or DC ? Digital or analog?  A picture of what you have would help 

Google "marine voltmeter" and then click on images and take your pick.  Capt  George

VDO voltmeter, 12 volt DC, flush mount.  Flush mount is the issue, I would need the same to match the other gauges.  I sent it to the repair shop recommended by VDO, however, the shop does not repair, they replace with used unit  which they do not have in stock right now.  Photos attached.

Go to eBay and type "VDO Voltmeter" and take your pick.  Buy two if you want an exact match and change them both.  Capt. George

Thanks for the reply.  I've done that, there is no match that will fit unless I change to bevel mount, but all the other gauges are flush mount. Even the current model VDO recommends , Viewline Onyx, will not fit. VDO has no information at all for the 332-201. I've also done a general search on Google, same results.

Lauderdale Speedometer can repair or rebuild the VDO Vanguard gauges

Marine Liquidators in Ft Pierce has them used and in good shape. I had to replace one of mine and I know they have a bunch of them on the shelf. They will help you over the phone and send to you, if you need help let me know and we work something out as I am there almost every weekend. 

P/N is the second line you see, not the top one. FYI. 332-201B

They can also be taken apart and cleaned, remove the nut, push on the back prongs and screw that you removed the nut from and the front bezel, face and entire gauge will pop off in your hand. Clean up the inside, spray with Wd-40 and Corrosion X , reassemble and they might start working. As a side note, on my Tiara 3500 there is a relay that provide the voltage to that gauge and sometime, happened on the other side on my boat, it has to be replaced and then the gauge will start showing the correct voltage. My relays were located on the rear of the instrument panel near the voltage gauges.

I've emailed them, will call tomorrow.  I'm going to the boat tomorrow, will check for a relay.
Thanks for the info.

Are these the VDO Vanguard ones that are switchable from red to green lighting?
