    Has anyone replaced the analog panel meters in the breaker panel? I'm not looking to upgrade to digital or anything, just replacing the dead ones with identical. Thanks

    Do you know for a fact that the meter in question is actually bad? You're showing a photo of an amperage gauge that may be fine but has a bad current transformer rendering it useless. Have you disconnected the meters and tested the resistance across the terminals to ascertain if the meter was indeed "open"?

    I have not. That's a good point. 3 of the 4 gauges don't work, 2 amperage and 1 voltage. I removed one to try and locate a replacement. The boat was partially sunk in 2010 and I'm guessing these were among the things not replaced by the previous owner

    Check out the digital meters from blue seas system. The often fit in the same holes and cycle between V A and Hz in big red LEDs. You can read them from distance.

    If you can read a model number on the back google can usually locate. Sources for all sizes and styles of meters are DigiKey and Mouser.

    The only inscription on the back is 'UG1" No brand or model #. There is juice running to the dead gauge I removed because I got a little shock taking it out o_O

    Looked on mine, there once was a label but now only where glue was. Could browse DigiKey or Mouser for one the correct size, not sure if size is a parameter that comes up in search table.

    Had one voltage meter for the house electric that would hang up and finally refused to read anything.

    Replaced both meters on 06/10/18 with new Simpson meters
