1. Overview

The Medallion 3-inch Info Center is a staple of mid-2000s towboats, serving as the primary display for engine vitals, depth, and speed. While these units were revolutionary at the time, age and environment have made them difficult to read. Rather than replacing the entire dashboard, MTC Screens provides professional restoration options to bring your display back to showroom quality.

2. Models Affected

This specific 3" Medallion unit is found in several high-end marine brands from approximately 2005–2012, including:

• Malibu Boats: Particularly the Response, Sunsetter, and Wakesetter series.
• Tige Boats: Various models using the Medallion instrumentation.
• Supra & Moomba: Select models utilizing the digital info center.

3. Common Issues We See

Unlike other screens that suffer from liquid delamination, the 3" Medallion units face two distinct physical failures: LCD Sunburn and Cracked Overlays.

Example of a "Sunburned" LCD that has turned dark and unreadable.

4. Why It Happens

Marine environments are brutal on electronics. Direct UV exposure and extreme temperature cycles inside the dash cause the chemical layers of the LCD to break down. This "sunburn" is essentially a chemical reaction to 15+ years of sunlight. Additionally, the original overlays lose their plasticizers over time, becoming brittle and prone to cracking at the slightest touch.

5. Dealer Alternative Prices

If you visit a dealer, the solution is usually a full unit replacement. Because these parts are often discontinued, prices can be staggering. A new OEM unit can range from $2,500 to $3,495. Our restoration options save you over $2,000 while keeping your original engine hours and settings intact.

7. How Our Products are an Improvement

Our replacement components use modern LCD technology with improved UV resistance and high-contrast filters that are easier to read in direct sunlight than the originals. Our replacement Malibu overlays are built with updated materials designed to resist the cracking and peeling that plagued the factory units.

Fresh overlays restore the aesthetic look of your dashboard.
