Full-sweep analog needle, black face, polished bezel, and a black pointer with an orange tip. It ships as a complete kit, ready to plumb into most standard 3-inch dash cutouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to know how fast you're really moving without wiring in a chartplotter or a GPS gauge, a mechanical speedometer is about the simplest way to get there. The Sierra Marine Black Sterling speedometer reads your speed straight off water pressure. A pitot pickup mounts on the transom, water pushes up a hose as the boat accelerates, and the needle climbs the dial. There's no battery to drain, no paddle wheel to clog with weeds, and no menus to scroll through. You glance down, you see your speed, and you keep running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Black Sterling styling is clean and classic. You get a black face, a polished bezel, and a black pointer capped with an orange tip so the needle jumps out at a quick glance. The dial is lit, so it stays readable after dark or tucked up under a hardtop. It's a 3-inch gauge, which is the standard cutout size on most helms and dashes, and the full-sweep needle travels the entire face. That long sweep makes small speed changes easy to catch when you're trimming for the best ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial reads 0 to 35 MPH, and that range is the key to picking the right boat for it. It suits smaller, lighter hulls best. Think aluminum fishing boats, bass boats, jon boats, runabouts, and center consoles under about 22 feet. On boats in that class the pitot system tracks honestly and settles into a solid read once you're up on plane. Heavier cruisers are a different story. Past about 15 MPH a pitot gauge tends to over-read on a heavy hull, so if you're rigging a big express cruiser, this isn't the gauge you want for that job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the full speedo kit, not just the head. You get the gauge along with the pitot pickup and the tubing you need to plumb it, so you're not hunting for parts after the box shows up. The install is well within reach for anyone comfortable working behind the dash. Use your existing 3-inch hole or cut a fresh one, drop the gauge in from the front, and lock it down with the bracket. Then run the hose from the transom pickup up to the barb on the back of the gauge. Two tips from folks who've rigged a stack of these. Keep the pitot exit a few inches below the waterline on a planing hull, or it'll stop reading at low speed. And double-clamp a good marine-grade 1\/8-inch vinyl line so the connection at the gauge doesn't weep over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of straight notes so there are no surprises. This model has no built-in tachometer and no resettable trip odometer, so it's a pure speed gauge and nothing more. If you want engine RPM or distance run, you'll add a separate gauge for that. The polished bezel looks great but it scratches easily, so go gentle with tools around it during the install. And like any sealed-lens gauge, a small silica pack behind the face helps keep condensation off the glass over a few seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne more thing worth knowing if you're building a full gauge set. Because it's a mechanical pitot gauge, it doesn't need to talk to your other electronics, so you can add it alongside whatever you've already got at the helm without worrying about wiring compatibility. The 3-inch size and Black Sterling face pair nicely with matching gauges in the same series if you want a consistent look across the dash. Come winter, blow the pitot line clear before a hard freeze so trapped water can't crack the pickup or split the hose. Do that each fall and the system keeps reading true season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a simple, dependable speed readout, it's hard to beat a mechanical gauge. It works whether the key is on or off, it doesn't care about satellite signal, and it looks right at home on a classic console or a clean new build. If your boat falls inside that 0 to 35 MPH window, the Sierra Marine Black Sterling speedometer is an easy, honest choice that gives you a clear read for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanical pitot-pressure operation reads speed with no battery drain and no paddle wheel to foul\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0 to 35 MPH range, sized for aluminum boats, bass boats, and center consoles under about 22 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch case fits the standard dash and helm cutout for an easy drop-in install\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull-sweep analog needle travels the whole dial for easy reading at speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack Sterling styling with a black face, polished bezel, and black pointer tipped in orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLighted dial stays readable after dark and under a hardtop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips as a complete kit with the pitot pickup and tubing to plumb it\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with the key on or off and needs no GPS signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSierra Marine Black Sterling Series, part number 67283P\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\u003eHow does this speedometer measure speed?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a mechanical gauge that reads water pressure from a pitot pickup mounted on the transom.
