Not for Marine Use

Pros: The meter out of the box looked good and fit in with my existing fuel gauge style. It was easy to wire in to my boats existing wiring and worked well. Cons: In less than 4 months, the whole bezel of the gauge started to show signs of rust. The gauge itself is located inside a cabin such that it is not directly exposed to salt water splashes. The fuel gauge partially pictured to the right has been installed on the boat for over 10 years (probably a lot more) and still looks like new. I would guess that the oxidation would be a lot worse if this were used in a exposed console (like a center or dual console boat) where the gauge would get exposed to direct salt water contact often. I'd be hesitant to use this gauge on anything that could be potentially exposed to a high degree of moisture in general.
