I have a 1995 Tiara 31 with a couple of intermittent gauges (a couple of knocks on the lens and they are good to go). Does anyone know if replacements are available?

Vessel Info: 1988 36' Convertible with new 8.1 Crusaders.
Exceptional condition, inside, outside, bilges and engines.
Just so you know, before you change brands make sure the senders have the same specs. For example, some VDO's do not read correctly with Stuart Warner senders. Also be aware that you need single station senders unless you have a tower with gauges. Capt. George

I just replaced my voltmeters on my 2003 38 Open that had Vanguard gauges with VDO Onyx Viewline gauges. They look the same as the Vanguard ones and are flush mounted the same as the Vanguard ones. Only problem is that you need to make/buy the flush mount kit.... I made mine and they look just like the Vanguard ones....... Suggest you take a look at these as they use the same sending units as the vanguard series and look the same.... M2C...... Found them on the VDO web site and ordered them from GAUGES.COM
