On my 2006 Grady Marlin 300, on the AC/DC circuit panel, the LCD digital meter that shows AC voltage is shot and I’m in need of a replacement. It’s on a circuit board 2 3/4” x 2 3/4” with mounting holes in 2 1/4” square. Powered by 12v but reads AC voltage. Anyone know where to get such or equivalent?3245970B-783D-4304-A98C-8D5AB60CE0F0.jpegFB11E66E-5575-45EE-9B35-DE8DFC04B18E.jpeg

I would contact Grady and ask who made the assembly.
And wow! That board is toast. Glad you didn't have a fire.

I had the panel open when I applied power and it did go on fire so shut off switch and it's right at the top of the panel so I blew it out. luckily it was open and I saw it!
 
usually there is a mark in the raw circuit card fab somewhere. if you can identify it (that thing is torched!) you may be able to track it down. Would be good to check the panel too. You may be able to find the manufacturer off that.
 
Thanks. Grady said they contacted supplier and no parts available plus no wiring diagram or schematic. I’m going to get an led one online that I’ll wire up myself. I can see the leads (only three = 12v+ red, and the two 120vac leads black and white.
 
I lost the same display but without the fire. just stopped working. I think I replaced it with a BlueSea display. I will look for my records to see if I can get part number information.
 
Mine just went out on my 2002 330 Express. Any suggestions will be appreciated
 
On my 2007 330 it is a Blue Sea 8247. Mine goes out in colder temps. Ok when warm. I may replace anyway, not cheap!
 
I bought this but haven’t installed yet. Still figuring out best method of attachment to panel.35256533-4F09-4AC8-A38A-21CF8FD0ED05.jpeg
 
I decided to go with the old fashion analog meter gauge. I had those on my 1978 33 Bertram, and they were still working years later when the boat was 30 years old. I think it’s going to be very easy to mount right over the old area on the panel. I’ll post pics when Im done.

here’s the pics. I just left the dark glass in the spot where the old LED readout was.

Being an engineer though, I kind of like the ability to look at amps, watts, and frequency with the Blue Sea 8247. It also has an alarm function that can be set to custom parameters. Probably overkill, but the lodd function allows me to see how loaded the genset is.

All true and good points. I just didnt want to spend the money. I have a 5kw gen set so I can run the air and hotwater heater at the same time. We have a gas grill outside. Doubt I'll ever use the stove?
I did the whole job for $30.

would have done the same!
 
Don't bother looking for direct replacements, I did ton of research, they're history. I looked at the Blue Seas option, but it's pricey.

I just finished replacing both of mine on the 330, really works great. Finally cleaned up up all of the old wires too. I put these behind the panel glass and used some silicone to keep them in place - perfect size for the panel cutout. Take the glass out if you want them even brighter, but at night they're already pretty bright.

AC Side: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JB9B2QL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I haven't quite figured out the best wiring for the DC load, if anyone installs one (or has a suggestion), please let me know.

I saw those On Amazon. The low price scared me off. Let us know how they hold up. Having all the different functions is nice.

Paneltronics Digital AC Voltmeter- 10-250VAC​
29887​
Paneltronics Digital AC Ammeter- 0-100ACA​

Used these to replace the voltmeter display and Ammeter, fitted just like OEM, very straightforward replacement.
