Replacing gauges

So, I need to replace a couple of gauges in my malibu. What's everyones thoughts going with aftermarket versus oem. One advantage of oem means they would match the rest. Does anyone know of a place that sells oem stuff, besides malibu? I need to replace the tach, fuel gauge and voltmeter soon, and possibly the speedos down the road. But they have never worked well, so I want to just get new pickups first and see if that helps.

This is what is in my boat, they seems to provide guages for a lot of marine applications.

I redid the gauges in my V210 and picked out something I liked from a local hot rod shop. I think it was around $300 for all of the gauges. I picked up a piece of carbon fiber and drilled out all of the holes for the gauges. I used the factory fuel sending unit and then added in the oil and water sensors. I did not remove those sensors as I was not sure if the CPU used readings from those sensors or if it had its one for fuel and timing maps. I remounted my hour gauge under the dash since I only look at it once every time I pull the boat out of the garage.
