Just as a little note on this. My Direct Read gauge in my 1982 Newport 18 has two springs holding the gauge up and away from contact with the cup below. E-Components informed me that this is and older style and the new gauges can be installed without the springs. She stated to clean out the cup well and add a thin film of marine petroleum jelly and mount gauge directly into cup. This gauge is also made in Brass as well as aluminum.
