Recently we noticed that our Yanmar multifunction gauge was getting hard to read. Looked like a large dark round spot started. Thought it was from the sun because the gauge was located on the flybridge.
3 weeks later the same gauge located on the lower helm started to get the same dark spot. These are expensive gauges to replace. $4,000/gauge is insane.
We opened the gauge to see if there was a way to possibly clean/replace the polarized lens. Unfortunately it did not look possible.
After researching many forums, we came across a company called “GaugeSaver.com”. Decided to give them a try. After sending in a photo of the gauge I was quoted $125.00. Apparently there is no charger if they cannot repair the gauge.
The repaired gauge was shipped back within 7 business day’s. Looked brand new! We sent in the other gauge and had the same great results.
Apparently they repair chart-plotters… LCD displays, etc. too. Based in Florida.
Just wanted to let others know that there is an option to restore rather than replace.
