I was asked how to install these cheap digital eBay/Amazon guages. Here are a few photos.
Bmarler,
Nice job of selecting the right size and style for your space. Looks very professional.
Is there a limit to how long the wire can be between the amp pickup and the gauge?

So I found an AC and DC digital meters that will fit where 2 of the 4 current analog meters are. Is it as simple as using the voltmeter leads from the working analog voltmeters and the amp leads from the non-working analog amp meters? Sounds too simple.
Those new displays look great! But as much as the geek in me wants them, the existing (43-year-old) analog gauges that came with my boat work fine. And to be honest, the digital gauges really wouldn't look right with my existing panel.
I'd be more likely to leave the analog gauges as they are and add a remote monitoring capability, so I could see voltage and current values on my cell phone, along with other things like bilge pump run times and such.
