'02 Ski Nautique Oil Pressure Gage

[AWhite70]

First off I'm a new member to PlanetNautique. I've been lurking for awhile but finally registered.

I own 2 Nautiques. A 1979 Ski Nautique that is currently for sale and a 2002 Ski 196 that I purchased last summer. I love both boats and wish I didn't have to get rid of the '79 but I just don't have space.

Now for the real question: After a heavy rain storm last summer through which my '02 went uncovered the oil pressure gage fogged up. Since then the gage has been intermittent. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Does anyone know if gages of this style are still available? Where to get them and how much they cost?

I've read several posts reporting problems with these teleflex gages but it's usually associated with the digital tach and speedo.

Thanks

RE:

We own an '02 Air Nautique and we've been told that Telefex had a lifetime warranty for the gauges. But it was also suggested that we "act" like we were the original owners just in case the warranty doesn't transfer. We'll be testing that soon... Our volt and fuel gauge have condensation in them. The fuel gauge has the bezel chipping/flaking off near the back. The temp gauge doesn't read correctly, it reads 140 when the engine is running 160.(Yes, it is a 160 thermostat) One of the ballast gauges doesn't ever read empty though the tank is empty. And the other ballast gauge bezel is chipping/flaking and is actually cracked through at one place.(It falls off now when you bump it) The boat is always covered and we baby it. Nice gauges huh?
