Perfect Pass Tach analog gauge gone bad

[ryan04wakesetter]

Hello everyone,

I have a 2004 Malibu Wakesetter DD and the tach on the perfect pass gauge has gone bad. The digital read out is still coming through for the rpm so it is working, but the actual needle is not functioning. I was told by my dealer who contacted perfect pass that they still have some of the 03 gauges with the black face which will not match. Does anyone know where I could get the original 04 perfect pass gauge? Thanks in advance. Here is an image of the gauge: http://www.pcs.cnu.edu/~cpinto/boat/boat8.JPG

it can probably be repaired.

take a look at this thread

that era combined mechanical tach and pp display would corrode at the brass "T" bolt where it connects to the circuit board.

a couple of hours of tinkering to fix it.

I checked the posts where it connects and they look clean and in tact. The malibu tech is telling me the gauge is connected properly and getting everything it needs to function so it must be a problem within the gauge itself.

The problem is on the inside and you must disassemble the gauge to fix it. Like the previous post said, a couple hours of work. Read the full post he referenced.
