Why Buy OEM
OEM gauges follow Mercury’s signal behavior closely, which keeps the readings steady and accurate. They hold up well through vibration, spray, and sun—things that often wear out cheaper look-alikes. Most boaters stick with OEM because it keeps the information honest.

FAQ
1. How do I know if the Cruiselog gauge is wearing out?
If the needle hesitates, sticks, or the trip count barely changes, it’s likely starting to fade.

2. Does this gauge need calibration?
Most setups read correctly once installed, but confirming settings during the install is always a smart move.

3. How does it handle saltwater?
A quick rinse after each outing helps it hold up well in saltwater use.

4. Anything important during installation?
Tight, clean wiring keeps the speed readout and trip counting smooth.

5. What does failing behavior normally look like?
You might see drifting readings, slow reaction, or trip numbers that don’t match the run.
