I have their pro comp liquid filled gauges in my boat. Last season I sent the tach back to them, told them it was in the boat when I bought it and it didn't work then, and they sent me a new tach no charge.

Now their tach's are a differant story as far as holding up but if you do have a problem with one of them they do replace it for free or repair it

Tank Ive used pro comp liquid filled gauges since 1996 in My Eliminator Daytona
Never had a prob !
I also used there monster tach until last year when I bought a VDO Playback tach.
Both tach's have survied the harsh eliments of coming back from the races in the rain ,with no cover! eek!
I did drill a small hole.062" in the bottom of the auto meter tach just because I was worried about moisture building up.
The VDO seems to be holding up just fine :D

Tank the Pro Comp white Marine are actually designed to survive normal marine splash (not to be confused with submersion). AutoMeter is very good on warranty. Normally unless abuse is obvious they just send us new gauges. We have very few problems though for the number of gauges sold. Call or PM me if you have any questions or need more info.
