Faria Chesapeake White SS 4" Tachometer w/Hourmeter - 6000 RPM (Gas)(Inboard)

The Faria Chesapeake White Stainless Steel 4" Tachometer with Hourmeter — 6000 RPM (Gas)(Inboard) is a precision engine monitoring instrument purpose-built for marine inboard powerplants. This electronic tachometer combines reliable RPM measurement with integrated hourmeter functionality, enabling operators to track engine runtime and maintenance intervals with a single instrument. The perimeter-lighted white dial features blue and white graphics with a polished stainless steel bezel, ensuring readability in variable lighting conditions typical of cockpit environments.

The unit operates via electronic pulse counting from the engine's ignition system, alternator, tach signal generator, or magnetic pickup sender. Installation requires three connections: +12VDC power, ground, and one signal input source. The 6000 RPM maximum scale accommodates mid-range gasoline inboard engines, while the contoured white pointer and domed glass lens provide precise needle tracking and durability against vibration and salt air exposure. The hourmeter automatically logs cumulative engine run hours, essential for scheduled maintenance compliance and resale documentation in the marine market.

This gauge is designed for freshwater and saltwater recreational and commercial inboard installations where monitoring both instantaneous RPM and total service hours is critical. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in marine environments, while the 4-inch diameter fits standard marine instrument panel openings. Boaters and marine technicians rely on accurate tachometer-hourmeter combinations to prevent over-revving damage, verify proper throttle response, and maintain detailed service records for warranty claims and equipment resale.
