On the water, the gauge helps you keep a steady rhythm without guessing.

The trip reading gives you a true sense of how far you’ve actually traveled. It’s a simple addition that makes the day feel a little more organized.

Why Buy OEM
OEM gauges follow Mercury’s signal output closely, so the numbers stay accurate and stable. They handle real-world vibration, heat, and weather better than cheaper alternatives. Most boaters stick with OEM because it keeps the information trustworthy.

FAQ
1. How can I tell if the Cruiselog gauge is going bad?
If the needle sticks, slows down, or the trip number barely changes, it’s likely wearing out.

2. Does this gauge need calibration?
Most rigs read fine as soon as they’re wired up, but checking settings during install is a good habit.

3. How does it hold up in saltwater?
A quick rinse after your run helps it last through heavy saltwater use.

4. Anything important during installation?
Clean, snug wiring helps the gauge respond smoothly and keeps the trip counter accurate.

5. What does failing behavior usually look like?
You’ll see drifting readings, slow reaction, or trip numbers that don’t line up with the day’s run.
