Collection: Gauges

Replacing or upgrading your boat's instrument panel means matching gauges to your engine, your panel cutouts, and your dashboard's overall look. The brands here, Beede Instruments, Faria Beede Instruments, VDO, and Veratron, cover the full range of functions a boater typically needs: tachometers, voltmeters, hourmeters, oil pressure, water temperature, water pressure, trim, depth, ammeter, and rudder angle. Sizes split mainly between 2 inch (52mm) and 3-3/8 inch (85mm) housings, so confirm your panel cutout before ordering. Dial and bezel finish matter too, since Faria's Chesapeake and Kronos series, along with Veratron's ViewLine line, come in black or white combinations that need to read consistently across your helm.

Compatibility is where most buyers need to slow down. Trim gauges, for example, are wired specifically to engine brands such as Mercury, Yamaha, or Volvo, and buying the wrong one means the needle will not read correctly. Some hourmeters use J1939 digital input rather than a traditional sender, which suits diesel and newer CAN-bus engines. Multifunction gauges like the Veratron 85mm tach consolidate several readings into one unit, a practical choice on crowded panels. Single-function 2 inch gauges from the Faria Kronos series keep things modular and easier to replace individually. Check sender compatibility, power requirements, and mounting depth alongside the face size before adding to your cart.
