Bottom line is I bought new Gaffrig gauges a while back and finally installed them in my boat. 1 gauge out of 10 is screwed up. I figured, no big deal, it happens to every product at some point, I got a dud... Gaffrig will fix it.
sent the picture to Gaffrig, they were responsive until they got the picture, now they are off the face of the earth. This has been in the boat for 3 weeks on the trailer. not even in the water.
For one 40 dollar gauge they lost all my business.
make sure you click to zoom in on the pic, it actually looks better after the upload re-sized it. Oddly enough you can't read the gauge in real life unless you already know the what the numbers are.

Did you buy these from their distributor or dealer? I would go there.

I had a mechanical speedo brake, the niddle tip broke off. Gaffrieg gave me a hard time about warranteing the speedo, but eventually with some discussions we came to terms.
Don't give up on them just yet. Talk to the right guys.Life is: what happens... when you plan something else.

They were good to me. I had my GPS speedo take a crap. I took the speedo to them. We went for a ride in their test car. Speedo had failed. They replaced the guts $0. Been fine so far. Call them and talk tp them don't b!tch 1st and ask later. Hell send me the gauge and I stop by with it.

Part of the problem is I bought them a while ago from CP, and now they have dropped the Gaffrig line.
The problem is water inside of it. It's past what I would call moisture.
The picture above from BBB are actually Livorsi gauges... You can tell the difference because the Gaffrig by Livorsi's only have one horizontal line where the Gaffrig by Gaffrig has 3 horizontal lines in the logo... the ones that hit the "G" in the name.

Based on their response so far, they won't do anything. I just want to warn others that it is not worth the time or effort to buy their products.
I'll go with Autometer, Livorsi, or even Teleflex next time. I wish VDO was still in the game making something that looked good, because the original 20 year old VDO's were fine.

04-30-2009 05:18 PMFrom what I'm being told, Gaffrig management has been made aware and someone will be coming here shortly to address the situation. Pending that, let's give the Gaffrig guys some breathing room to respond.
Thanks.

If you think I have jumped the gun I'll delete the thread.
I'm super flexible, everyone gets busy, and I am super understanding... what got me is this is the last contact I got, which was from last Friday.
HI BOB,
I RECEIVED YOUR PICTURE AND I WILL HAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR YOU ON MONDAY.
THANKS,
...name removed...
