{"product_id":"sierra-lido-2-inch-marine-trim-gauge-white-65504p","title":"Sierra Lido 2-Inch Marine Trim Gauge, White | 65504P","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThe Sierra Lido trim gauge gives you a clean, up-to-down readout of your sterndrive or outboard trim on a 2-inch analog dial. White face, polished bezel, and a black pointer with an orange tip you catch in a glance. Thru-dial and perimeter lighting keep it readable on night runs, and it drops right into a standard helm cutout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA trim gauge earns its place on the dash the first time you need to plane out clean or tuck the drive down to push through a head sea. This Sierra Lido gauge gives you a clear up-to-down readout of your sterndrive or outboard trim position, so you can set the ride by the needle instead of guessing by feel. It's a 2-inch analog gauge made for boaters who want a straightforward helm, no screen to boot up, no menus to scroll. Just look down, read the trim, and get back to driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lido look is easy to live with day after day. You get a white face, a polished bezel, and a black pointer capped with an orange tip. That orange tip does more than it sounds like it should. When you're trimming on the fly and your eyes belong on the water, you want to catch the needle in a fraction of a second, not hunt for it against the dial. This one reads fast, and the white face keeps the numbers legible in bright midday glare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt drops into a standard 2-inch gauge opening, which is the same cutout most helms already use for a trim, fuel, or voltmeter gauge. If you're replacing a faded or dead trim gauge, or filling out a cluster during a repower, the hole is almost always already there. Behind the dash you'll want a little slack in the harness so the gauge seats flush without the wiring pulling tight. On some older consoles a thin bezel spacer helps the gauge sit square against a curved dash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNight running is where a lot of budget gauges fall apart, and this is where the Lido pulls ahead. It uses both thru-dial and perimeter lighting, so the dial glows evenly instead of throwing one hot spot across the face. The numbers stay readable at idle speed in a dark inlet without washing out your night vision. If your helm runs a dimmer circuit, wire the gauge light through it. The extra LEDs draw a bit more than a single bulb, and on an older gauge cluster you don't want one instrument brighter than the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the bezel it's a true analog movement with a short electrical sweep, reading up to down as you raise and lower the drive. Analog has a real advantage for trim. Your eye reads needle position and rate of change faster than it reads a number climbing on a screen, which is exactly what you want when you're trimming through a turn or coming onto plane. There's nothing to update, nothing to pair, and nothing that goes dark if the boat sits over the winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to get right at install is the sender. A trim gauge only reads correctly when it's matched to the resistance range of the trim sender on your drive. This gauge is designed for the engine and drive packages listed in the specifications below, so check that your sender matches before you wire it in. If a gauge reads full-scale or pins at one end, that's almost always a sender-range mismatch, not a bad gauge. It's worth a two-minute check with a meter before you blame the instrument. A dab of dielectric grease on the terminals keeps corrosion from creeping in on an open boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSierra has been supplying marine engine and rigging parts to boaters and builders for decades, and their gauges are made to meet or beat the original part they replace. For a repower, a helm refresh, or just swapping out a trim gauge that's gone cloudy, the Lido is a clean, no-drama choice that looks right at home next to the rest of your instruments. Order before 3 PM ET and in-stock gauges ship the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch diameter analog gauge that drops into the standard helm cutout used by most trim, fuel, and volt gauges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUp-to-down trim readout with a short electrical sweep, so you set drive position by the needle instead of by feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhite dial face stays legible in bright midday glare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolished bezel gives a clean, finished look next to matching helm instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack pointer with an orange tip your eye catches in a quick glance from the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThru-dial and perimeter lighting for even, glare-free readability on night runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrue analog movement with nothing to boot up, pair, or update\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSierra marine-grade construction built to meet or exceed the original part it replaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for the sterndrive and outboard packages listed in the specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sierra Marine reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does this trim gauge actually show?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt shows the up-to-down position of your sterndrive or outboard trim on a 2-inch analog dial, so you can see how far the drive is tilted while you're running.
