My gauge cluster was stolen from me

[Vinceinseattle]

I have a 1997 Glastron, stern drive, #175 SE w Volvo V6 4.3GL
All 7 of my gauges where stolen. Left behind is a fuse block with all 7 gauge wires removed from this block. Might anyone know of a diagram of where each replacement gauge should attach to the “spade” on the fuse block. THANKS

wiring diagram is in the factory service manual for the motor/drive

purple wire (ignition) is daisy chained to all the gauges
black wire (ground) is daisy chained to all the gauges
dark blue wire (lights) is daisy chained to all the gauge lights
grey wire (tach) goes to the tachometer signal lug
Pink wire (fuel) goes to the fuel gauge signal lug
tan wire (temp) goes to the temperature gauge signal lug
light blue wire (oil pressure) goes to the oil pressure gauge signal lug
trim gauge wire - see factory manual on motor/drive

more info in the stickies at the top of the forum

They all need power and ground. These can come from the same source. The power wires will be fused and are usually on the ignition switch accessory post. The other wires are unique and not fused.

Obviously oil pressure and water temperature will come from the engine look for the unique wire colors for each.

The tachometer wire will likely be the hot side of the coil on the engine. Check for it's wire color.

Speedo is usually driven by a rubber tube.

Gas gauge is usually driven by a pink wire from the fuel tank sender.

Trim gauge will have a wire from the outdrive. Check in the engine compartment for the color.

Voltmeter will be connected across power and ground only.

All gauges will likely have an extra terminal for lights. These will also be connected to each other and to the instrument lighting (navigation) switch on the dashboard.

Not trying to be a smart as_, but how in the world does someone steal all the gauges without anyone noticing them? Taking out the gauges is not a small task... IDK?

Pretty easy to remove the whole thing on my boat.
I can probably do it in less than two minutes. Even quicker if you just cut all the wires instead of neatly disconnecting them. 5 or 6 screws and yank or just cut the wires.

Did they hack up the wires or unplug them nicely?
