Gauges - Final Selection
Posted By: Ernest

Here's my proposed set up. I have room for only four small/2 inch gauges per engine on the fly bridge - other than the Tach, hours, and Floscan/GPH which will be in one unit. I am thinking oil, Temp. Alt, and Boost. Only real other options would be EGT and a fuel gauge. Existing fuel gauge seems to have only three readings - full, about half, and pert near empty.
With four 2 inch gauges per engine, the console will be packed to capacity with the addition of a couple of switches and idiot lights.
No ignition key. Black faces, chrome rings, white letters/numbers. Need to order them up in the next ten days or so.
Am I missing something and/or is there something I could mount down below? I was thinking of just mounting the fuel gauge in the engine compartment as a backup. Do I need an EGT gauge? Is white faces/black letters the better choice? Console face material will be stainless or aluminum plate.
Also, do I need an ignition key? Was thinking that if I was really concerned about theft, I could always go with some sort of a kill switch, but right now, I have no ingition keys.
Many thanks in advance.
