    Faded Speedometers

    Anyone know why the speedometers on my new 95 SS are faded? All other gauges are white, but both speedometers are faded to a yellow. Obviously it wasn't a deal breaker.

      Why would all the other gauges not be faded?

        apparently they stand out more than the other gauges. I don't have a great explanation for it but I have seen it happen before.

          The gauges are different brands, different manufacturers. Airguide speedos and VDO gauges most likely...

            That's why I always cover my dash with a towell when the boat is not moving. Keep a lookout for these speedo's for sale, they become available when people put in a perfect pass.

              Different companies use different (or no) UV inhibitors. OF
