The temperature gauge on my 1998 Sunsetter LX has quit working. My service tech has determined the wiring and sensor are working fine, se we assume it is the gauge. Malibu says it's a Teleflex gauge unique to 1997 and 98, and I'm having a difficult time tracking one down. Any suggestions? New, used, or upgrade. It's an electronic gauge with a straight 5-pin connector.

I have a 1998 Sunsetter LX with a manual wedge. The foil broke a couple years ago so I had it welded back together. It broke again the other day at the hole where the pin goes thru to hold it in place up or down. At this point I think there may be a fair amount of metal fatigue so I'm reluctant to have it welded again. When it does break the water pressure forces it up and I know bending like this is not good for the strength of aluminum. Any ideas? Anyone aware of a Malibu boneyard (junk yard) where I might be able to get the foil as the mounting seems to continue to be in good shape. Any chance of getting a replacement foil or full wedge assembly from Malibu?

Hi all! New to the boating community! I just purchased a 1998 Sunsetter LXI with less than 300 hours on it. It has a fuel injected Monsoon 320 engine in it. When I dropped it in the lake for the 1st time a month ago, it ran great! All the gauges, motor, pumps, etc. When I took it out this past weekend, I lost power to certain gauges, but not all. My clock, depth finder still had power, but my oil, fuel, engine temp, tach, and speedometer all stopped working? I tried tracing electrical but I thing I am not looking in the right spots or missing some. I found the fuses located in line coming off the engine, and all fine there. I tried resetting breakers but none tripped. I also check the fuses under the dash and nothing appeared to be blown. Am I missing something? Is there a wiring guide anywhere? Please help! Do I need a new board? I've read that the mmdc board might be bad? But where and what does it look like? Thanks for any contributions.
