Why Buy OEM
OEM gauges follow Mercury’s signal patterns exactly, keeping the readings steady and reliable. They handle vibration, weather, and regular use better than cheaper options. Most boaters stick with OEM because it keeps their information trustworthy.

FAQ
1. How do I know if the Cruiselog gauge is failing?
If the needle sticks, lags, or the trip number stops moving, it’s likely wearing out.

2. Does this gauge need calibration?
Most rigs read correctly right away, but checking settings during install is always smart.

3. How does it handle saltwater?
A quick rinse after your day out helps it stay reliable in saltwater seasons.

Clean, tight wiring helps both the speed reading and the trip counter stay steady.

You might see drifting readings, slow reaction, or trip counts that don’t match the run.
