Gauge layout in xb2002 console

[JOEALLY]

How do you guys have your gauges set up in the small bullet console?

Any pics?

Very nice guys. I'm adding a couple 2" gauges & plan to put them in the lower half of the bullet console.

I always liked Lou's "endangered species" gauge lay-out

Very nice Chad. MY "phase II" renovation has me thinking of ordering one of the new XB2002 consoles and installing a HDS4 with lake insight like your 5 is. Leaving a tad more room for gauges (which will have to be multi-function) I have ZERO room for gauges on my dash panel to put any.

Awesome lay-out Chad. If I remember right, didn't you buy it with the 5 in there already?

Thanks Darth for the compliment. I went through 10 revisions with Darris before settling on my layout. I love the layout except for the fact that the fuel pressure and water temp are partially occluded by the steering wheel. This is a minor tradeoff, however, since everything else is available at less than a glance.

With the lake water temp so low right now, my gauge needle doesn't even move off 100 unless I stop the motor and let the block sit for a few minutes. Fuel pressure remains steady at around 56psi.

Two of the most important gauges are front & center: water pressure and trim. Personally I would never like a setup where the trim indicator is off to the side somewhere. I want to know where that motor angle is especially at high speeds. I have a little triangular mark of blue tape at the point where it's like "venture beyond here and the danger zone begins". :help
