Author	Topic:   Round in-dash gauge suggestions
weekendwarrior	posted 04-03-2013 07:58 AM ET (US)         The round hour meter in my dash has disintegrated from the salt, apparently 14 years of salt use is more than Honda designed it for (it stopped working at only 100 hours so I installed a sealed hour meter on the motor itself years ago). So now I have a round hole in my dash to fill with a new gauge and I'm looking for suggestions. I don't "need" any additional instrumentation, I've got the basics covered, but I do need to fill the hole with something. I'm thinking a digital volt meter, can anyone suggest a specific model? Or even a different type of gauge that you find handy?
