Anybody know where I can get a new clock for my 85'. Other than the dealer. I've already tried and they are having trouble locating one. As you can see from the pic the bezel/lense has broken away from the housing on mine and the clock will not stay in the dash. Thanks.

Good luck- the VDO's are no longer being made. The clocks are especially hard to find, and can be expensive. Just be glad you dont have the even-rarer 90-93 white faced ones! I have found a few places that still have some NOS stuff around. Try these:
Gilmore-Global Vehicle Controls The bezels are interchangable, so you can swap your old one onto it (assuming you have it) if the one you buy comes with a chrome ring. |

Looks like that is exactly what I needed. Both sites you posted appear to have them. Anything specific I need to be aware of before I try and order one?

Just prepare yourself for 2 things. 1. The possibility that they dont have the clock in stock and they cant get one- their website is out of date. 2. The price tag of the clock if they do have it. Ive encountered both scenarios. Good luck!

Unless you want to keep it original you can put a Hummingbird depth finder in that place. It fits perfect.

FYI, if you want to retrofit your tachometer I have done some decals. I still have some of them left. If you are interested let me know.

Thanks, but the gauges are in pretty good shape. The boat only has 290 hrs. and has been inside all its life.
