Hey folks,
purchase almost complete on my new to me 97 Freedom 40/40 "Circe". I am wondering if anyone has had to replace any of the electrical meters on the panel? Both my DC meters are shot. I have contacted Bass, the panel manufacturer, but they have not responsed. I am pretty sure these should be some standard sized meters that are available but if anyone has done this any info would be helpful.

Hi -

Have a look at: https://www.bluesea.com/

Bass sells meters and shunts through their website, but they may not fit their older panels.

After a lighting strike I had to replace one of my 12V meter. I obtained them from Bass. Here's the info:

Analog Meters [3.5"] 140-3532-016 Type: 8 - 16 VOLTS DC 1 $59.40 $59.40

Thanks all for the info.

Tony did you find a good replacement for your meter?
My Bass analog voltmeter is not too helpful if I want an accurate reading. I see plenty of interesting volt/amp combos online, there must be some that would fit in that same spot.
Thanks. Tom

According to their website, Bass Products is no longer in business.

As a previous poster noted, I also used a Blue Sea Systems Mini OLED Voltmeter to replace my Weems & Plath one that went bad -- not a perfect fit, but used a bit of plastic cut to the right size to mount it on -- works fine.

Ditto on Blue Seas. In the process of stripping all the electrical and starting over with Blue Seas panels and all new marine grade wiring.

I found someone sellin Bass reconditioned meters and replaced my failing ones with those. I like the way the look but they have limited functionality. I recently purchased a Bluesea OLED boat monitor that monitors 2 battery banks, 120v system, and either two bilge pumps or two tanks or one of each. But I have yet to install it.
