Looking for a Faria Gauge

As you can see, the previous boat owner replaced the tachometer with an aftermarket unit that does not match the other stock gauges.


According to the Bayliner on-line parts catalog the correct gauge is Item #6 Part Number: 1717989 Description: GAUGE, TACHOMETER 4" KRONOS SS

This is a Faria gauge and when I look on their website I cannot find the Kronos SS model.

Where can I find this tachometer to match my existing gauges? Why didn't the original Owner send the gauge back to Faria for repair? Are their tachs that bad?

You can get the Faria part number (and the series) right off the face of your gauges...just read the small numbers just below the bezel. This will make more sense than a part number that your boat manufacturer supplies.

If you have further trouble, here are some direct contact numbers for some great Faria people:

Re: Looking for a Faria Gauge

Twinz,

I agree with RockyRoad they are a great company to work with. I had a temperature gauge repaired (i.e. replaced) this summer after working with Customer service representative Mr. Ted Genard to determine it was the gauge and not the sender. About 5 years ago, over the winter layup, I sent a pair of tachs and the synchronizer gauge back to them for recalibration (they seemed to be inaccurate) and was pleased with the result after reinstalling on my new-to-me/used Chris Craft. They are quick to reply to emails and returns take only a couple of weeks. Other than that, I have not had problems with their gauges.

I would advise talking to Mr. Genard and determine if he can get an exact replacement for the gauge you show. He may want both gauges returned to get an exact match.

Lots of luck with your project.
