Sierra 62718P Premier Pro Fuel Gauge, Black Dial, 12 VDC Fog-Resistant Marine Instrument
The Sierra 62718P is a Premier Pro fuel gauge built for inboard and sterndrive boats that need a reliable, easy-to-read fuel level readout at the helm. Part of Sierra's popular Premier Pro instrument line, this gauge pairs a black dial with white graduations and numerals and a white pointer staff for clean daytime visibility. At night, full automotive-type light piping illuminates the dial with no distracting halo around the edges: the white dial graduations glow red and the pointer lights white, so the gauge reads exactly the same whether it is day or night.
The dial itself carries a fog-resistant design and a scratch-resistant curved glass lens set into a black, near-flush bezel, and the gauge complies with SAE J-1810. It reads across an E to 1/2 to F range and is engineered to pair with a sender using code F. Electrically, the 62718P runs on 12 VDC and draws 0.10 to 0.15 amps. It carries an IP65 ingress protection rating and is rated for operation from -40C to 70C, and its connections use NPT threading. The gauge is designed to mount into a standard round instrument cutout, with a 2.39 inch bezel outer diameter over a 2.13 inch mounting hole. For Yamaha installations, Sierra's adapter (P/N 61886P) is required. The 62718P is also offered as part of Sierra's Premier Pro Instrument Set for inboard/sterndrive applications, alongside companion tachometer, speedometer, and other Premier Pro gauges, so owners can match a full matching gauge set at the helm.
