Boat gauges inboard vs. outboard

[Angler-S]

Will Faria inboard gauges work on a 115 Merc 4 stroke?

Since no one else has replied , yes as long as they are wired correctly . Oil pressure is oil pressure ,water temp is water temp ,etc.

One which may be an issue is the tachometer, and that's only if the gauge doesn't have a setting for the number of cylinders. Only other issue I can think of which may be an issue is the sensor size (if there is enough room to install)

Where would the temperature and oil pressure sensors get mounted?

Welcome aboard, Angler.

The only answer is maybe yes, maybe no. It depends on which of the hundreds of Faria gauge types you have and which Merc 4 stroke. So, whatcha got?

Faria Beede in box kit ...115 4strk / 2021 Not sure about the oil pressure being usable? Bought these before I notice they are inboard.

There has to be a "wire" someplace coming from a sensor. Where do you find that elusive little guy? Recent engines have an ECM. Old ones don't. How old is the engine? Need more Info.

Sorry, missed it.

A 2021 has a ECM. Forget the gauges, buy a Mercury Marine VesselView sensor and a Ram Mount for the cellphone and have an almost complete display of the engine parameters right in the center of the dash.

If you are buying gauges for a new engine...I’d ask why you need to...and also why you wouldn’t buy the excellent smart craft sc1000’s for that engine.
