You'll have to do some research and find out what ohm range your sensors are. You'll need a diesel tach to connect to the AC tap on your alternator. The switches are switches - you just need to know how they are wired. I totally redid my panel - all new gauges and switches. I bought new senders too so I didn't worry about matching the gauges.

The panel is fine. I just don't like the location -- not that I'm sure where I would move it to. All the best, Edd Edd M.

That said, are your GAUGES bad or just the panel? Why not mount the old stuff in a new panel?

I guess what I'm most curious about is the gauges. I mean -- regardless of where the signal comes fro, it's just wires sending signal, right? Is a Universal fuel gauge different than another one? Is one tach gauge different from another? Same as to temp. A glow plug button is just a button, right? I've already replaced the ignition. (See: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t84cI65qdtE/TaxAHhoNrgI/AAAAAAAABdY/74WdK5ON_Rc/s1600/photo.JPG) Are you saying I can't pull my tachometer and install something like this (http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=469511&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=50366&subdeptNum=50390&classNum=50391#.UT4C5KWvgoY ) and it won't give me the same readings? I's confused. . . . . . All the best, Edd Edd M.

For example, Yanmar does not have glow plugs and the tach works off the flywheel, not the alternator. You could make a panel out of Starboard that holds the instruments and switches you have, but to duplicate a Yanmar panel would be a major PIA. I suspect the same would be true of the Universal panel.

The Enterprise has a Universal Diesel, which runs great, but I hate the location of the panel. It's low in the cockpit and faces forward so if you're driving, you can't see the RPMs, temperature, etc. You also need to be either crouched over or on your knees to hold the glow plug button and the starter button. I'd like to, probably next year, replace and move the panel to another location. So here's the question: Does it have to be a Universal panel? There are smaller ones out there by other manufacturers. Are the connections for the gauges universal? All the best, Edd Edd M.
