Identify the panel, instrument and sender details needed to enquire about a replacement for your vessel.
Start with the panel already on board
A clear photograph is often the best starting point. Include the whole panel, each instrument face and any accessible model labels. Tell us whether you need one gauge, a complete replacement panel or a revised layout.
For a harbour launch with two engines, identify port and starboard instruments separately. If the vessel has more than one control station, include both locations. An original panel drawing or equipment list is useful, even when some instruments have since been replaced.
Details to record before requesting a quotation
Item
What to send
Panel fit
Overall width and height, mounting-hole positions, available depth and a photograph of the opening.
Gauge fit
Instrument model, panel cutout diameter and space behind the panel; the visible bezel is a separate measurement.
Electrical system
Documented supply voltage, such as 12V or 24V, and the existing connector or harness reference.
Functions
RPM, engine hours, oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level and any alarms or warning lamps required.
System type
Existing analogue instruments or a digital display/network, with the display and interface model numbers.
The gauge and sender must match
The sender is the sensor supplying information to the gauge. A replacement needs the correct signal and measuring range as well as the right physical fit. The engine name alone does not identify every instrument fitted to a vessel.
Fuel-level equipment illustrates the difference: KUS lists a 240–33 ohm American range alongside European options including 0–190 ohms. These are different specifications. Send the existing gauge and sender part numbers rather than selecting by appearance.
For a tank sender, include tank depth, existing sender length, mounting style and the specified output. For pressure and temperature instruments, include the scale units and range, sender reference and connection details. For a tachometer, supply the model and documented RPM-signal information; pulses per revolution may be needed.
Tell us what you want to change
Replace an unreadable or discontinued gauge with an equivalent instrument.
Renew a damaged panel while retaining the existing instrument positions.
Add specified instruments, alarms or a new display to an existing layout.
Request a panel layout for review using your dimensions and equipment list.
