Depth finder replacement
 
I am wanting to replace my Lowrance 3500 depth guage with a new Faria guage. I am having trouble locating the Faria with gold bezel and white background to match my other guages. Anybody have a clue if the Lowrance gold bezel will work with the Faria guage? Thanks.

Try checking out Great Lakes Skipper on eBay. They are the most likely source for Mariah gauges.

Ok...no luck finding a white face Faria gauge with gold bezel. Here's what I ended up doing, just in case anybody else runs into the same situation. I found a new Faria in their "dress white" style on eBay. After I removed the old Lowrance bezel, I decided to cut out the inside and see if possibly the outside gold ring would fit over the new Faria. I used my Dremel with a small grinding bit to cut it out to about 1/16" of an inch from the edge. I then switched to a small round sanding bit and smoothed it out just to the edge of the inner ring. To my delight, the old gold bezel ring snapped perfectly onto the new Faria gauge!
