I shared a couple of thoughts on this topic with Dominic and he suggested I post it here and see if I can pick up some ideas.
Looking for a check on my thinking – hope you can help.
I am adding the dual boost (2”) and dual EGT (3”) from Tim at Designated Engineer. Challenge is to figure out where to place them. I am also adding a Bennett trim tab position sender that will display on a 2” Lowrance LMF200 multifunction gauge (NMEA2000).
I’m considering removing both fuel gauges and using one hole for the LMF200 and the other for the boost. I can add Lowrance EP65R senders to the NMEA2K network at the helm to give me fuel level readout on the LMF200. Senders connect to the existing fuel gauge wiring - easy.
Also, added Aetna digital tachs last summer (great addition) so the combination of the tachs and the Glendenning sync make the sync gauge less useful. This uses a 3” hole – same as the EGT. So, remove the sync gauge and use this hole for the EGT.
This gives me a chance to mount three new gauges (boost, EGT and LMF200) and provide readout for all existing and new data without drilling any new holes.
If you can make any sense out of this – any thoughts or concerns I’m missing?
