Faria Beede Instruments FAQs
What is Faria Beede best known for?
Faria Beede is best known for marine gauges and dash instrumentation such as tachometers, speedometers, hourmeters, trim gauges, voltmeters, oil pressure and water temperature gauges, plus compatible senders and accessories.
How do I choose the correct replacement gauge size?
Match the gauge face size and the dash hole size to your current gauge. Product listings often include the mounting hole diameter—use that measurement to avoid fitment issues.
Do I need to replace the sender when replacing a gauge?
Sometimes. If the gauge uses a specific sender range (fuel, temperature, pressure), the sender and gauge must be compatible. If readings were inaccurate before, a new sender may help restore accuracy.
How do I set up a marine tachometer correctly?
Many tachometers require selecting the correct signal setting (often based on alternator poles or engine type). Follow the product instructions and verify wiring to ensure stable RPM readings.
What’s the difference between a depth sounder and a depth finder?
A basic depth sounder focuses on depth readings (and may include alarms), while a depth finder may include more advanced sonar features and display options depending on the unit.
