I'm thinking this would be a pretty good match:

Great job on the dash panel iv'e been wanting to do something like that myself

cdoyal i was at marine surplus in Bradenton today and they have the stock gauge in white for $15.00 if you didn't get one yet.

I'm sure they can send you one. http://www.marinesurplusinc.com/servlet/StoreFront

Thanks for the tip. I looked at the site and didn't see a white one. I might stick to the faria in tan so they match. I'm a bit OCD with that kind of stuff!

I picked this one up today,they must have 200 different gauges but just a few online

Finally got the systems check in place. The Faria was a good match with the TeleFlex Sahara.
I also have a Humminbird 998c SI GPS/Side Imaging Sonar unit on order. I'm hoping it will prove to be a shipwreck finding machine come spring.

CD,
That 998 is a damn good unit (pricey, though!), have installed a few on the Donzi 29 ZFs we build for the Wisconsin DNR.  They also like their FLIR cameras (VERY PRICEY!!!).  I guess there's a lot of drug  running on Wisconsin lakes!?

A local dealer is giving us a great discount since it's for an official underwater preserve - (501c3).

Must be an increase in shoreline meth labs since I lived in Wisconsin!

I got them at Custom Marine Services http://www.cmsquick.com/prod_17_S_RocA.html
Actually, I bailed on the teak. I used some mahogany ply I had left over from building my duck boat. Much stronger since thickness was an issue with the rocker switches. I'm going to use a Blue Seas blade type fuse block for circuit protection.
