I have a 79 J/30 with the a cluster of 5 engine gauges (Tach, oil pressure, water temp, hours, voltage). These are all actual gauges, no idiot lights. They are VDO branded, but I can't seem to find any model numbers on them. The Oil pressure and water temperature gauges don't work. I'm not sure if its the gauge or the sensors. I bought some new sensors from Torresen marine, but it turns out they're not the right ones. They only sell the sensors for the idiot lights, not ones that go to the gauges I have. Has anyone else dealt with this? If so, where do you get the sensors from? And, if needed, where would I find the gauges? A picture of the gauge cluster is here: http://www.compass.com/scott/engine.jpg

That doesn't look like the stock engine control panel seen on most of the J/30s. Look at this link, page 24 and the schematic on page 56: http://j30.us/files/Rhapsody/yanmar-manual.pdf Most of the J/30 Yanmar engines use the "B" style panel. The sensors you were sold probably work with the idiot lights on this panel. I think you'll need to research the individual instruments on your panel and find the matching sensor that goes with them. Bill Rhapsody #348 ps - I like your panel better than the idiot lights! [This message has been edited by whk (edited 05-07-2007).]

Hmm... I actually bought a VDO temp guage from Torenson this winter and installed it. I can try and find out what sensor I bought. You can also get the sensor that has the temp and an alarm built in. I only got the temp one since I have the idiot light and buzzer.

Does that panel have alarms, or is it just gauges? The idiot lights and buzzer might not be informative, but they are pretty useful in an over-temperature or under-pressure condition, seeing as one probably isn't staring at the gauges while under motor.

It has a large RPM guage and then just a row of idiot lights and below that it has a large buzzer.

It's probably the oil pressure warning. There's no oil pressure when the engine is started, so the buzzer will buzz.
It might also be alternator charge. Not sure if that one is alarmed or not.
