I somehow cracked the glass on my trim and water pressure guage on my 2010 Puma.. This may be a dumb question but how do you remove the guages?? .I dont want to tear into it and screw something up..I didnt see the guages at the bass cat store..Do they stock them??Thanks for the help

Most have u style compression clamps holding them in. By removing to small nuts the clamp will slip off and gauge will slip out. Sometimes u have to remove electrical connections first. If your lucky theres enough slack in the wires to slip the gauge out of the console then remove the connections ( this dont happen often). The issue will be accessability. Its tight quarters most of the time under the console. Just a little patience on your end and its not hard to change out

The back of the guage has a white tube it sits in..I tried to see the nuts but I cant see the back of the guages because of the tube….I may have to try a mirror..

A 2010 model would be either engine brand gauges, or they are QuickSilver label gauges from Mercury. Bass Cat does not sell those gauges as they are engine company parts they install and a dealership can assist you.

Mine look like the first picture except they are inside a white plastic tube and you cant easily see any type of nuts or clamping mechanism..I am going to have to get a mirror to try to see the backside of the guages..The white tube blocks it so you cant see any connections or clamps or mounting screws..Redngoo, thanks for taking the time to post the pics…

My guages are kind of set up like these..Except the tube is a little deeper..It looks like the outer ring/tube just threads off…..My boat is at the cottage so I will have to wait to get into it more when I head up for bow hunting..

BCB Never used VDO gauges on present models. They ended the use of actual VDO brand around 1992.
